Man, Jeannette Walls has lived a crazy life. The prose itself was engaging, and I was very interested in learning what happened to her. That said, I felt that the book offered no thematic or emotional reflection on what she went through. It was merely a chronological account of her life.

As other reviewers have said, Walls does look at her past with rose-tinted glasses and does not tear down her parents. She tells us what they did, said, didn’t do that they should have done and let’s us the reader feel the anger for her. Which I thought was very tasteful of her, given what all her parents have put her family through.
Definitely one of the most powerful memoirs I’ve ever read. How they were able to save up money, budget at such a young age and be more of a responsible adult then both their parents to make it in New York. The strength of her and her siblings is truly incredible.
