• What "The Road" should have been
  While I would not call "The Glass Castle" high art, I did find it inspirational and, as others have said, courageously written.
  I also recently read "The Road," by Cormac McCarthy. Although I realize that was a novel, it seemed to me that the feelings it wanted to evoke, the human connections it was trying to make--but failed miserably, in my opinion--were fully realized in "The Glass Castle."

• The Glass Castle: A Memoir
  Wonderful book! I got this book to read as it was on the freshman reading list at a college - for kids to get in touch with their own lives and understanding them - and perhaps how to let it go and get on with it - which seems to be a problem these days! I found that it parralled with my own life - and helped me see through the hard times i experienced!
  Very thoughtful and insightful - well written.

• Crazy story... but a great book!
  I really loved this book, though I didn't feel any compassion for the parents of the author. I didn't care much for the West Virginia part of the story, as I found the earlier party of Jeannette's childhood to be more interesting in both action and storytelling. I would love to see a follow-up to this book and learn more about what became of the author's siblings, how her parents adjusted to an empty nest and more details about the author's adult life.

• Love it!
  This memoir is a great read. When I wasn't reading it I was thinking of ways I could read it. She is a great story teller with an amazing story to tell.
  Can say this is one of my favorite reads ever.
