this was such a devastating memoir. i loved how the voice throughout most of the story aged as the story progressed. the beginning has such a child-like voice which adds to how you feel for the author and what she went through. this was a hard but rewarding read.

The Glass Castle is one of the best memoirs I've ever read. It made me laugh, cry, and angry beyond words. One thing I would've loved to see more of is Maureen. I feel that her transition from child to adult was glossed over very quickly and deserved more explanation and detail. Still a 5-star read, though!

i do not even want to rate this book because it is such a horrible, heartbreaking  and emotional story. i loved the writing style of the author, she somehow captured every little detail in a way, that you don’t want to stop reading this book. it makes you mad and sad at the same time thinking it was all reality while instantly appreciating your own life a whole lot more.  i’m so glad there was a rather happy end to this shocking life story but i don’t think i’ll read it ever again because it has many graphic triggers and gross details. it affected me a lot emotionally, i’ll definitely think about this one a lot. 

(also, and i don’t know if this was just my version of the book but it had tons of spelling mistakes/random misplaced letters which distracted a lot while reading)

I hated this book. I hated these parents. I hated the lack of accountability. I hated that the kids continued to let them in their lives. I hate that the summary describes this book as a testament to unconditional love. I hate it. My stomach literally hurts thinking of the things, specifically the mom most of the time, said and did and withheld from her children. 
The only reason this gets any kind of rating is that Jeannette overcame this kind of childhood and became a beautiful writer.
