The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls
by Sam Arnold-Boyd on Nov.17, 2011, under Abuse, Real life, Student Reviews
Who would like this book? Boys and Girls 13 and up
Why? Yes, this book may be a little mature and some could argue it isn’t school appropriate but it really opens your eyes to what some people can actually go through. This book is real, it is harshly honest, and doesn’t leave out a single detail of what the main character, Jeanette, went through. Moving from place to place, Jeanette got confused on what to call home and what to call just a stop on the way to home. She believed so much in her dad but when it comes down to it, he was selfish and let her down. There’s no way I will tell you the ending, so read it for yourself and see how great of a book it really is.
