Book Review: The Glass Castle

SAD! Seriously... that's what this book is. And unfortunately it is a memoir! BLAH! She is an amazing woman, but her parents make you want to hug yours tight and tell them how amazing they were with you growing up. Imagine moving place to place on a whim. Imagine not having indoor plumbing and peeing in a bucket in your kitchen. Imagine having only 4 dresses to your name. Imagine loosing respect for your parents. Imagine watching your parents become squatters while you became a newspaper editor. This lady went through all of this and more. You just get so frustrated listening to what they would do next. It was a real eye opener and I encourage you to read it if you want a reminder to be thankful for what you have and what you have went through. The most surprising part of her whole journey is she writes without a shred of bitterness. I must say she might just be a better human being than I am.
