I’ve completed The Glass Castle and the book is 10/10. I’m glad I got assigned to this book for school, the fact that this book is a true story and this is how the author once lived really opens your view on life. After the book, of course I watched the movie! And the film is great, it really gets in your emotions and it’ll make you tear up. Whats your favorite part of the book or movie?

The Dad in the Glass Castle is a Drunk but when sober, can possibly have an IQ of Bill Gates from the way the family and kids talk about him. He prefers to live in an isolated place; with not a lot of people around. The manner that he treats his kids is probably not the father way to do things, let them shoot a gun, if injured not take them to a hospital, not live a normal life. What’s your thoughts?

The mother in Glass Castle is really an interesting character; The way she see’s the world is unique and different from other regular people point of views. Her husband and her seem not to be on the same page most of the time. In the book, it looks like she depends on him for living since she ran from home. In her young days there was a lot of strictness going on in her house. She’s a care free woman who doesn’t like the normal teachings and prefers for her kids to learn on their own.

I’m only starting out in the book, and i can pretty much say the story that this book has developed has pulled me in; The hard life of moving, and running away from the collection agency. This book is marvelous and it really gives you a picture on how these people live their lives. The setting , the story and the meaning this has, is worth the read.
