The Glass Castle

This book is an interesting book, it is basically the opposite of my life. Im not a huge outdoors person so I would not be able to live with there family at all. I hate feeling gross so the showering thing would absolutely kill me. I would hate to constantly move and not knowing whats going to happen next. Both of her parents are completely worthless to some extent, her dads an alcoholic, and her mom paints. Her parents can barely fend for them at all, but get them by with the hope that they are going to strike it rich. This will never happen, because they are constantly moving and her dad never puts in enough time or money to make things happen. Her dad does an awful lot of talking and building himself up by telling them all these stories. He makes it out to seem like he is a super hero, but deep down inside alot of the kids are starting to lose hope in him. His drinking is going to far and thats the only thing he cares about. Booze is consuming his life, however I think that they have raised their kids good enough to the point where they will be successful on their own, especially jeanette. She is very equal on her view of all people, and is very accepting of what happens. She has alot of intelligence, probably smarter than i am now, and she just started middle school. The kids are good in an intelligence stand point, but they dont really know what a normal life is, or experience things  that most kids do.
