The Glass Castle is hands down one of the best memoirs--in fact, one of the best books--I've ever read.  Jeannette Walls' story is remarkable and inspiring.  I wish I had an ounce of her inner strength.  Like Jeannette, I like learning the "dirt" about people not because it's salacious or because I have malicious intent, but rather because I think the "dirt" is what makes each of us unique and truly human.  I also appreciated this book because the story raises a valuable question:  can parents be deemed neglectful or abusive if they truly love their children and believe they're doing the best for them, even if to the outside world their parenting seems remiss?  And is it maybe true to love is all a child truly needs, more so than even adequate food and shelter?  Aside from the substance of the book, it was a compellingly readable story--funny, suspenseful, heartbreaking, and healing.  I breezed through it because I had to know how things ultimately turned out.I wish the best to Jeannette and all her family.  She is someone I would love to know, and I thank her for sharing her incredible story with the world!
