The Glass Castle

I finished the Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls a few weeks ago.  I loved the book.  It is the story of a girl’s life and her growing up with crazy parents that basically keep them living in a poverty stricken life due to their own self motivations and self centeredness instead of doing things for the best interest of their children.  I especially enjoyed this book because the story is from the point of view of the granddaughter of main character in Half Broke Horses (HBH) by the same author.  It is amazing because the grandma in HBH is so driven and disciplined.  This drive did not transfer through to her daughter but it is clearly evident in her granddaughter in The Glass Castle.  Having the two books about one family was wonderful.  I loved the Glass Castle and would recommend it to anyone.
