The Glass Castle

I think that The Glass Castle was an excellent book. It is a book about a girl growing up in poverty while moving from place to place because her parents have a hard time keeping a job to support the family. Her father was an alcoholic and her mother didn’t want to be responsible for the family. She tells us about her life growing up and how she beats the odds of ending up like her parents, who choose to live the rest of their life homeless and they are happy with that decision.

I think this book is important for some people to read because while reading it you will realize your life isn’t as bad as it could be or you might realize there are people out there like you.  If you are in a similar situation this book can be inspiration and help them realize you don’t have to keep living your life that way.

I never read books on my spare time but reading this book makes me want to start reading more. I would encourage others to read this book because of how inspirational this story is. Like I said before, this book can make you realize how much different your life could have been growing up.
