The Glass Castle: A Memoir - Kepler's Staff Review

The Glass Castle is an intense story about a closely knit, but dysfunctional family.  As the life of Ms. Walls unfolds, and you meet the colorful members of her family, you have to keep reminding yourself that this is a true story and not a novel.

There is no self-pity in this childhood account.  Ms. Walls writes as an almost dispassionate on-looker rather than the heroine of this memoir.  My favorite non-fiction book of the year.
