The Glass Castle

reviewed Incredible story on
Helpful Score: 2


This book will grab you from the very beginning. As you get wrapped up in the unique story of the Walls family, you will experience every emotion that a human being is capable of feeling. It is a beautifully written account of an shockingly unconventional upbringing. Jeannette Walls tells her story brilliantly, in a manner that is courageous in its candidness. I've never had a book touch me so deeply, and stay with me long after the last page had been turned.
