The Glass Castle reading 1

     

The book that I decided to read is called "The Glass Castle." When I got the list of books to choose from I looked each one up on the internet to get some background information. When I looked up "The Glass Castle" it had my full attention right away, I was very interested in it and I wanted to keep reading. I really enjoy reading and I am excited to read this book, I except to get a lot out of reading this book including reading life experiences that I did not have, as well as how these kids were raised which is completely different than how I was raised. I have already read the first twenty-five pages of this memoir and I must say that I did not want to put the book down. It is a very interesting book, I like reading about how the little girl named Jeanette lived her childhood and how she was raised then comparing it to how I lived mine and how my parents raised me. The first chapter is different than the chapters that follow it. The first chapter takes place in the present, Jeanette is married and living in New York City. The following chapters take place in the past. They explain how she is raised and her childhood starting at the age of three. The things she went through are things a three year old should never even have to witness. I do think this book is going to be sad, and possibly upset me at times. Although, I am enjoying this book and I am eager to go keep reading.
