bandherbooks 's review for:

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
4.0

I finally read (listened) to this much lauded memoir and it deserves the hype! I recommend listening to the audiobook as Walls has an excellent voice that adds a completely priceless aspect to the memoir.

Walls had a completely unique upbringing and while I often found myself really upset at some of her parents' decisions, her very obvious love for her family made me root for them despite it all. It also made me think, hey, I'm not doing too bad of a job at this whole parenting thing myself, so I'll believe until my own kiddos write a memoir about me ha.
