Helpful Score: 1

After reading this book, I was impressed that Jeannette Walls lived to adulthood! It is an interesting read and never boring. Fast paced and entertaining. I'm not one to read memoirs because they are usually so hateful about their childhood. However, I have to hand it to Walls for a book that sheds light on homelessness, growing up with neglectful parents and dirt poor and that stills has a lot of love in it. I wanted to slap her parents, often and hard, for the way they were. I'm happy that she and her siblings made it out of childhood alive and well. Well worth the read.
