I've read this twice now, from different perspectives of what was happening in my life at the time, and got something out of it each time. I think Jeannette Walls is a good writer; she gives just a good amount of description to provide a sense of her experiences without getting bogged down in too much detail. I do question whether all the things she writes about truly happened, or if they are her interpretations of events of the past, colored (as they are for all of us) by a child's understanding of the world. I recommend this book to those who enjoy biographies of unusual people.
