book review

The Glass Castle makes readers thankful for what they have, and fills them with hope that hard work can really transform the standard of living in a family. This book reveals a part of American society rarely glimpsed by the more fortunate. In today’s economic climate, this book is a warm reminder that perseverance and sweat allow anyone to improve their condition, and attitude is the main key to change. Anyone struggling with family issues, poverty, or downright hopelessness will find this book to be a reminder that the American dream is more tangible than a mere fantasy. Jeannette Walls inspires dreamers to stop half-heartedly wishing on a star, and start working towards a planet.
