The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls (2005) is a memoir. I think this quote should get a prize for most gripping opening sentence. Who could fail to keep reading?
"I was sitting in a taxi, wondering if I had overdressed for the evening. when I looked out the window and saw Mom rooting through a Dumpster" (p. 3).
I read this book a few years ago and it was an amazing read.

I read this one and thought it was a great book and then listened to an audio book version and thought it was even better. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThis book was a very powerful read. I have the follow up book to read at some point.
