  • @300daysandnights Oh okay thanks anyways

  • @EasyBakeSmiles I'm not sure.

  • @300daysandnights do you know if her mom is still alive? I loved this book too, one of my favorites!

  • damn this book made me angry, sad, but also hopeful that if she could overcome all that then anyone can make something of themselves if they just have determination and a dream. god, its a great story.

  • amazing book. i cried at the end!

  • I just finished The Glass Castle during my week long vacation in the Southwest. How fun to drive through the places that she mentioned in the book. I drove through Battle Mountain, Nevada today on my way home to the SF Bay Area...how wonderful to think of the book as I drove through the desert...

  • The Glass Castle was a heartwrenching and brilliant read. I can't wait to see what Walls will write in the future.

  • Having also lived a strange childhood, I identified closely with Jeannette, Lori, Brian and Maureen. The hardest part of coming FROM somewhere different than the norm was reconciling my own feelings of "that was just the way it was" with the reaction of others around me. I quickly learned not to talk about it.

  • Now I share with a lot of laughter and my acceptance of my parent's shortcomings and recognition of some of their bigger than life qualities is no longer seen as causing ME to be strange. While my book is third person and muchly removed--not a memoir, it was a great help in my ability to communicate the nobility of humanity, even when the human involved is being a total dumb ass. Nowdays I make people laugh, not cry.
