Wow. I'm still scratching my head, trying to figure out why this book was on the Best Seller's list for a year. I found the memoir boring, trite and redundant. Ms. Walls was a character I not only sympathized with but related to, that is until she entered her adult years. By the final chapter I was utterly disgusted with her transformation and couldn't wrap the book up and send it off fast enough.
