I read this book in parallel with "Nutureshock" and the irony was incredible. To think of all that parents go through today to raise their children well, and here is a story of outrageous neglect. Jeannette Walls is living proof that kids turn out the way they will. I couldn't put this book down. I believe it was told in good faith and not fabricated. All modern teenagers should be required to read this book.
