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?

The mom actually paints really good! I'm surprised! And I agree they should make it into a movie!

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. :]

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.

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

[dieselboi91]

i definitely recommend the glass class

[tiredofmaggots]

This book is a romanticization of trash for a payday.

[tiredofmaggots]

Her mother is a worthless loafer.

What type of medium is this video from? One would have had to already read the book to appreciate this video. It doesn't 'sell" the book to perspective readers. Where is this shot? Is Rosemary living in a property owned by Jeanette now? This is an amazing book, and I wish this mini compilation did more to appeal to perspective readers.

i'm pretty sure if this book was made into a movie, it would win an oscar
