Underwhelming

Good, well written, yet at times borrring. Though that's probably more my problem... BUT with the way reviews raved about this memoir, I was expecting more. Yes, Westover has many impressive accomplishments to her name, especially considering her upbringing. However, I have either read or watched a movie/documentary of this story unfold (ridiculously similar stories) a dozen times already. It seems to be the over-done Saga (in this case a true story) of a black sheep bred from a poor, religiously zealous, backwoods, white folk family turned sophisticated and enlightened Educator Extraordinaire.
