  • When I read the part in the book where Jeannette's mom hid a Hershy bar for herself to devour while her 4 kids were starving for any food, I was so furious!

    I wonder if Jeannette's mom, to this day, has ever apologized to her kids for her being such an unfit mother when her kids needed her the most?

  • a friend gave me this book and honestly is the best book i´ve ever read!!

  • My sister gave me Jeannette's book for christmas and I loved it! I read it in two days. She is an amazing woman with an amazing story to tell. I bought Half Broke Horses and was just as good as her Glass Castle. I even did a speech about it in my communications class and my professor asked to borrow it, lol.

  • I just read the Glass Castle for my English class and it was one of the best books I have ever read.

    Jeannette Walls is a truly amazing author. I just bought Half Broke Horses and I can't wait to read it. :]

  • This book is a GREAT READ read it in a 4 hour flight. MUST GET this book! I also loved Angela's Ashes. Good read as well.

  • This book is a GREAT READ read it in a 4 hour flight. MUST GET this book! 

  • @hsinhsinYT Or when she quit teaching for her art! That was the worst for me. I'm amazed at Jeannette's ability to look past all this.

  • @Alfrunk shes not necesarily crazy she just has a different view of life and how to raise her kids.

  • i definitely recommend the glass class

  • This book is a romanticization of trash for a payday.

  • Agreed. Her mother should definitely have been put in a home of some sort she was obviously very mentally ill.

  • Her mother is a worthless loafer.
