A review by bibliophile1019
The Silver Star by Jeannette Walls

2.0

I loved The Glass Castle. I enjoyed Half-Broke Horse. Unfortunately, I only tolerated The Silver Star. The story, which centers on Bean and her older sister who are abandoned by their flighty mother, was totally predictable and missing the heart that permeated The Glass Castle. I felt bad for the characters and their plight, but I didn't care about them. I think Walls should stick to writing memoirs or characters based on people she knows-- it allows her to breathe life into them.
