Patron Passport review

As you know, we are often privy to advance reader copies, galleys, and proofs of upcoming books. Obviously, we don't have the resources or the time to read all of these books in the way we'd like.

That's why we count on our Patron Passport members to evaluate books for us. Here is a review of Jeannette Walls memoir, The Glass Castle.

THE GLASS CASTLE, by Jeannette Walls

Three of my family have read this book within the last week and we all agree: READ THIS BOOK!

Ms. Walls writes of her childhood in a way that you ARE her. You feel everything she goes through. You laugh with her and cry for her.

Her family is made up of the most unusual parents possible. Her father can be very loving and then when drunk the most hurtful. Her mother is in her own world, but can draw some of the most unusual answers to their problems you ever heard.

You cannot put the book down wanting to know what will happen to Jeannette and her siblings next. It astounds you how they cope. It even astounds you more how they survive, let alone become normal, productive human beings.

Excellent reading.

Patron Passport member Betty Atkins takes home a review copy of The Glass Castle with our gratitude for sharing her thoughts on this book. We hope you enjoyed it.
