The
Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
The
Glass Castle is a memoir detailing Jeannette Walls' life
in her dysfunctional family. The back
cover of the book details the drunken state of her father and also the
intelligent and inspiring side. In
addition, it mentions the irresponsibility of her mother and how both of her
parents follow her, homeless, to New York.
I decided to read this book because in 8th grade my class had
read an excerpt from it and it sounded very interesting. In addition, many people I know have recommended
this book and say it is engaging and reads a lot like fiction. From this book I feel that maybe I will learn
more about family values and be able to compare her family to mine.
