Walls' parents really depict the thin line btwn brilliance and insanity. Some of their ideas about life and living were way above the crowd, but her mom completely lacked any maternal instinct and her dad was an alcoholic... which made life pretty tough. But in the middle of all the chaos and insanity, they imparted much love and a lot of really brilliant ideas to their kids.

I agree with secret. Parts of the book were very upsetting but I found my envious of the closeness of her brother and sisters.

This woman went through everything she said she went through in this book.I knew of her & her family when I was growing up but I never actually met her.And I admire her rising above the poverty & hardship she endured.Amazing ! We love your grit & humor Jeannette!!

@Oehtkralc If all of the parents who were guilty of neglect back then were in jail, the streets would be very lonely. It wasn't really direct child abuse from what I've read so far. The author provided a fairly objective depiction of her parents, and for that she should be commended.

If Rose Mary Walls is still alive, she should be in jail for child abuse and neglect. Jeannette defending her parents in any way is disturbing. She reminds me of the beaten dog that still stays with its master. Jeannette's glorifying her parents' sick behavior is abusive to children every where who are hungry and beaten.

Perhaps you just had a lack of imagination seeing as you probably have never been through half of the hardships Jeannette has been through. Don't knock it until you try it.

How could you hate this book!? I cannot put it down since I have started reading it.

[abbiexface]

I hated this dumb book. ands in the video, the only thing that makes sense is the dumpster and and the fake drunken person.

i dont understand how you can simply tell someone that they didnt really go through something. you have no idea what the author went through, so dont go around saying its obviously made-up.

im doing this for english too. mines gonna be awesome though

[Alfrunk]

Kinda hard to take it seriously when you have that degenerate "acting" like he's drunk and falling down. Is it supposed to be funny?

[Alfrunk]

Horrible book. Many parts of it were simply made-up and completely not plausible.
