I loved this book so much I read it in less than 24 hours, even though I also had a lot to do that day. I could not put it down. Jeannette Walls describes a really horrific childhood but the book is not one bit depressing because she has a wonderful gift for telling it all from a child's perspective with love and, believe it or not, lots of humor and levity. She and her siblings are true angels and this book is amazing. I wish she had more books- I would read them all.
