"The Glass Castle"
I for one never read a book in high school.. Then after I was married and put on bed rest with our first child, I began to read books about 9-11. A lot of true inspirational stories came out of that day. From that day forward I kept reading and find it very relaxing, "my time".
I am currently back in college and in our English/Writing class we were asked to read the book, "The Glass Castle", I have to tell you I was recommended this book prior and absolutely loved it. So when picking out my English class this was a a huge part of why I chose this class.
"The Glass Castle" is an amazing book about a child's life growing up in poverty and abuse. From a very young age she was given challenges that most adults will never see in there life time. She was brought up in a very abusive family, loving but not in the way that a parent should be.
The writer Jeanette Walls really gave a very personal inside look at her up bringing. She went into great detail of the events that happened in her life. And showed us as the audience how determined she was to get out. She gave great detail of the poverty level her family was at but also the way her own parents put them in that poverty category deliberately.
All in all a very good book and a must read!
