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)
