The Glass Castle: A Memoir
by Jeannette Walls
Are You Serious? (6/12/2008)
Admittedly, the story is interesting enough to hold my attention throughout, but seriously. Seriously? The writing itself is puerile, and I keep coming across both logical and grammatical errors.

Is this what publishing and authorship has fallen to? Scribner's, the company that published Hemingway and Fitzgerald? For shame.

In 5 years, I haven't read a book that disappointed me in the that way The Glass Castle has.
