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 an account of what happened to her.

The parental subject matters of this memoir are unlike anything I have ever read. The only way I can possibly describe Rose Mary and Rex are a cross between granola hippies and conservative hillbillies. This book had my emotions constantly at war - one second this family would be resilient and heartfelt, the next selfish and damaging. What a true, raw look at the complexities of humans, love, family, and growth. I highly recommend listening to Jeannette read this book as well.
