The Glass Castle is a remarkable memoir of resilience and redemption, and a revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant. When sober, Jeannette's brilliant and charismatic father captured his children's imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and how to embrace life fearlessly. But when he drank, he was dishonest and destructive. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn't want the responsibility of raising a family. The Walls children learned to take care of themselves. They fed, clothed, and protected one another, and eventually found their way to New York. Their parents followed them, choosing to be homeless even as their children prospered. The Glass Castle is truly astonishing -- a memoir permeated by the intense love of a peculiar, but loyal, family. Jeannette Walls has a story to tell, and tells it brilliantly, without an ounce of self-pity.

A life passed and you never got to build your glass castle. 在这本书里真的见识到了美国父母们的自私和小孩子的独立。

这样奇葩不负责任的父母最后还大概率养出了优秀的孩子，其实里面很多教育经是很值得借鉴的。

就是那种看的时候一边笑一边小声地哭，到了结局敬酒ol‘ Rex的时候整个人难受得不能讲话。父母都是好人 书里好的地方和我的家里蛮多地方都很像 父母都是超级善良的人 会收养猫 会把家里的虫子放出去而不是打死 但是不会酗酒 不会没有责任感。很多共鸣 希望自己以后也会像自己父母那个样子吧。
