A review by leasummer
The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls

4.0

This book was not what I expected. I will admit I put off reading it, partially because the library didn't have it in and partially because I just didn't want to read it. But the reading club girls assured me it was excellent. It was very hard to get past the horridness (a word?) of the childhood. I am still pissed off at her parents for it. It certainly makes one appreciate their own eccentric parents for at least not being like that. The [b:saving grace|130916|The Saving Graces A Novel|Patricia Gaffney|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171995451s/130916.jpg|126092] for the book is that Walls is a beautiful author. She made things come to life and made you feel as though you were close enough to being there without losing your mind. I hope to see more books written by her, she is an asset to the author word, which is not often said these days.
