If you like interesting little information, this book is great. I really enjoyed it!


Great "novel" about Jeannette Walls grandmother. It also gives you a lot of background on her mother which helps you understand her more in The Glass Castle.


I'm really glad I took the easy classes in HS and got out of reading this then. This book would have damaged me more then that it has now. What a terrible yet good book. I am amazed at Weisel's ability to put that experience into the words that he did describing that terrifying experience. I am just.... I don't know. I am glad to finish the year with this book, knowing it is one that I will not only read again but it will live with me as if it was my own memories.
