The Glass Castle was a very real life story that visualizes the life Jeannette Walls lived in poverty. If you like books that are realistic and easy to find connection within, you will like this book. The Glass Castle was written in first point of view (Jeannette‘s view) of her life growing up. Jeannette established this point of view by writing how she felt in situations, and showing us her perspective of the issues in her family.

The Glass Castle is a very personal story. If you like being shown characters emotions and seeing the struggles they have encountered in their life firsthand then you should read this book. I would recommend this book because it is consistently interesting, and there are not very many “plain” parts in it.
