每一个有趣的人都有一段有趣的过去。但何为有趣呢?是不是必须有一些不堪为首、不忍重复的重型回忆?你知道,二十岁的时候我们会向往波澜起伏、奢望惊心动魄的人生,有的人过了三十岁便转而向往平静,波澜不惊、养尊处优被认可为一种成功的都市生活理想。可珍妮特用亲身经历告...
评分这本书陪伴我走过了高三最后的晦涩时光。我喜欢它正如我喜欢冬日里的阳光一般。它总是能够给我温暖。记得看这本书的时候是在冬天,每每想起总有一个玻璃城堡似的梦在等着我心里就无限温暖。那是一点透明的光照亮灰暗的时光,我希望自己也能像珍妮特一样,跳出牢笼,给自己建造...
评分1. Jeannette Walls的这本回忆录《玻璃城堡》(The Glass Castle),其实容纳的是四个孩子艰难而颠沛的童年生活。大部分的时候,Lori、Jeannette、Brain和Maureen跟着他们的父母Rex Walls和Rose Mary睡在纸箱子里,睡在破旧的轿车里,睡在寒冷的地下室里,睡在没有阳光的廉价...
评分 评分在阅读本书的大多数时间里,我的心情是不快的,其间还有不少的愤怒。这些情绪的来源就是书中的爸爸和妈妈,沃尔斯家四个孩子的监护人。我不能否认他们身上不乏闪光之处,比如对于自由生活的向往,比如教会孩子如何勇敢地面对困难。但是有一句话我不得不说,他们都太自私了,是...

Jeannette Walls's father always called her "Mountain Goat" and there's perhaps no more apt nickname for a girl who navigated a sheer and towering cliff of childhood both daily and stoically. In The Glass Castle, Walls chronicles her upbringing at the hands of eccentric, nomadic parents--Rose Mary, her frustrated-artist mother, and Rex, her brilliant, alcoholic father. To call the elder Walls's childrearing style laissez faire would be putting it mildly. As Rose Mary and Rex, motivated by whims and paranoia, uprooted their kids time and again, the youngsters (Walls, her brother and two sisters) were left largely to their own devices. But while Rex and Rose Mary firmly believed children learned best from their own mistakes, they themselves never seemed to do so, repeating the same disastrous patterns that eventually landed them on the streets. Walls describes in fascinating detail what it was to be a child in this family, from the embarrassing (wearing shoes held together with safety pins; using markers to color her skin in an effort to camouflage holes in her pants) to the horrific (being told, after a creepy uncle pleasured himself in close proximity, that sexual assault is a crime of perception; and being pimped by her father at a bar). Though Walls has well earned the right to complain, at no point does she play the victim. In fact, Walls' removed, nonjudgmental stance is initially startling, since many of the circumstances she describes could be categorized as abusive (and unquestioningly neglectful). But on the contrary, Walls respects her parents' knack for making hardships feel like adventures, and her love for them--despite their overwhelming self-absorption--resonates from cover to cover. --Brangien Davis --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
I loved this book more than I had expected. Other people’s stories make you realize how insignificant your own troubles are.
评分是一个探讨家庭教育、酒瘾治疗、原著和电影改编差异的原因的好案例...看的时候觉得人是很多面的,但这对放任型的parents真的很不负责任..
