Finished

Finished reading THE GLASS CASTLE by Jeannette Walls (288 pages, paperback).

In terms of autobiographies about a really interesting life started with traumatizing childhood, it is less depressing than A CHILD CALLED IT, THEY CAGE ANIMALS AT NIGHT, but more than RUNNING WITH SCISSORS. The writing quality is better than RUNNING WITH SCISSORS but a bit like THEY CAGE ANIMALS AT NIGHT if the author for that book loved his family more (which admittedly would be hard to do, considering all those foster homes meant that he was never around his family that much, which contrasted with the author this book). Fairly fast read but definitely one of those books where, after you've read it, you feel bad for ever being dissatisfied with your own life. Amazing story. Not something I'd voluntarily re-read, but wow, the lives that some people go through....
