Book Blab @ Stevenson H. S.

Review by Kyle P.

Mr. Argentar – Period 7

In “The Glass Castle” follows the twisted
childhood of Jeannette Walls. Like most children Jeannette has two
parents her mom Rose Mary and dad Rex, and she has one brother Brian and two
sisters Lori and Maureen. Through out the book the Walls family has to
keep moving from town to town because Rex get fired or just cannot pay to live
there anymore. It seems that everywhere they go something bad seems to
happen to Jeannette like before they move for the first time in the book
Jeannette is cooking hot dogs and her dress catches on fire and she has to go
to the hospital.

The one aspect I liked about this book was how all
these terrible events keep happening to them, but yet the Walls family still
stuck together. Like when they had
to live in a house with a pit full of garbage and deal with it. I also liked how Jeannette writes this
memoir with such detail. For
example when she talks about falling out of the while they were on the run and
was cut up pretty badly from the rocks.
This Book I would recommend to anyone who wants to read a great book
full of real shocking events.
