One of my favorite reads of the summer; I could not put this book down until I had finished it. Jeannette Walls autobiography is colorful and filled with complex characters, especially her mother and father, who are at once despicable in terms of their inability to find proper jobs and feed their children and at the same time oddly admireable in terms of their desire to instill in their children a love of knowledge and learning found outside of distractions of a modernizing society.
