Book Reviews of The Glass Castle: A Memoir
Book Review: what an amazing story
Summary: 4 Stars
Such a shocking account of how some children draw the lot of having parents who are quite unsuited to raising a family. JW writes with such accuracy and style that it disturbs at the same time as lifts your spirts. The child and youth of JW was so painful and yet her personality takes you through this journey in such a way that you feel she could live through any hardship and yet still stand back and view the situation with such objectivity and intelligence that it would carry her through to a better place. A moving and deft read, comparing this to Eat, Pray, Love, another memoir that I have recently read, is like comparing haute-cuisine to a fastfood.
