This is actually one of first book club books I've really enjoyed. Given the difference in tastes of each of the members of my "Never Five" book club--named as such because in the 2 years since its inception no book has ever received a perfect score of "5"--this book scored a high "4."
A now successful writer, Jeannette Walls reminisces about her seemingly happy but turbulent childhood. Raised by her "free spirited" parents, she experiences poverty, deprivation, and remembers her parents with surprisingly fondness despite the reality of her family life.
I read this in two sittings as we flew to and back from Germany.
Even Molly and I, who NEVER agree on books gave this a 4. Worth the read. You can get it at Amazon.com.
