nebraskanwriter's review against another edition
5.0
As other reviewers have said, Walls does look at her past with rose-tinted glasses and does not tear down her parents. She tells us what they did, said, didn’t do that they should have done and let’s us the reader feel the anger for her. Which I thought was very tasteful of her, given what all her parents have put her family through.
Definitely one of the most powerful memoirs I’ve ever read. How they were able to save up money, budget at such a young age and be more of a responsible adult then both their parents to make it in New York. The strength of her and her siblings is truly incredible.

The glass castle is incredibly frustrating at times. It's a book about a family that's basically falling apart at all times. It's kind of like watching a bunch of adults stomp around a sand castle while their kids try their best to repair it, except that sand castle is their entire life
