The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls


I read this book in April.  When I read this book I didn't realize it was based on a true story.  About half way through was when I realized it was.  This book was very good.  You wouldn't believe the things that have happened to her in her life.  Which is why I thought it was fiction.  I'm still in awe the things she lived through.  And even more surprised that she could write about it in such a way that it seems lighthearted and funny, to a point.  I'm still amazed how she could take such tragedy and write about it almost in a way that makes it seem like it wasn't as bad as it should have been.  Difficult for me to explain.  I'd recommend this book to someone who loves reading anything.
