A review by marcelabrina
The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls

3.0

Coming from a not-too-privileged background myself, a lot of the actions in this memoir were familiar and unfortunate, and plenty of them made me angry. I found myself thinking these people (the parents) should be sterilized and if that sounds harsh, it's because it is. The memoir itself is well written and engrossing, but I got tired of coming home angry (listening to it in the car), and both remembering and predicting several of the actions of the individuals involved. It's worth reading and forming your own opinion, but I wouldn't recommend it for parents who actually care about their children.
