Book Review of The Glass Castle

The Glass Castle
The Glass Castle
Author: Jeannette Walls
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on


This book is intense. I love memoirs and this was one of the most interesting and disturbing I've ever read. Sometimes it seems almost too far fetched to be true. Of course, "truth is stranger than fiction". I highly recommend. As for memoirs, I also recommend anything by David Sedaris, "The Tender Bar" by J.R. Moehringer, "The Color of Water" by James McBride, and if you disregard the horrible movie adaptation, "Running with Scissors" by Augusten Burroughs is also very good. Happy Reading!
