I am an avid book lover. I read anywhere from 3 to 10 books a week. The Glass Castle was by assigned summer reading by Bowling Green State University. This book is not my kind of book, it's what I call a real life book, and I am into fantasy/science fiction.

I do not enjoy reading books about abused children and almost rapes and things like that. That is just me. I am happy for Jeannette Walls and her siblings for successfully earning a living and managing to feed themselves in New York. They all have spirit, especially after what they had to go through. I only just wish that I didn't have to read this book. I appreciate its appeal to others but to me it disgusted me and made me want to hit the people in it.
