A review by suvata
Educated by Tara Westover

4.0

Educated is a memoir that reads like an abnormal psychology textbook. Westover’s account brought two similar stories to mind — The Glass Castle and Hillbilly Elegy. If we’re giving out awards for the craziest character, Tara’s father gets the trophy. He was a religious fanatic who didn’t trust the government and bought into all of the crazy conspiracy theories that go along with that mindset. Of the three books, I enjoyed this one the most. It’s a “miracle“ Tara escaped that lifestyle, albeit not totally unscathed.
