I couldn't put this book down - it was a wonderful memoir. The story was so odd that it seemed hard to believe, yet you knew it was likely a lifestyle this unusual, time and time again would not be made up. I found the parents to be infuriating, selfish, neglectful and irresponsible throughout the entire story - the mom more so than the dad, which a lot of people probably disagree with, but regardless, the story had the right amount of details and moved along at what I felt was the right pace. Jeannette and her siblings were resourceful given their circumstances and I felt for them, over & over throughout the book. I was happy with the ending too, and would easily recommend this book to anyone looking for a truly great memoir.

Guess I need to finally read this... it's been sitting on my shelf for a decade, and I broke my own rule: I saw the movie first (which I LOVED). So glad this one was a good read for you, Brandice.

Great review, Brandice! I will check to see if I can get this from the Library. :)
Brandice, I loved this too and had the opportunity to hear the author speak...what an amazing story!
Really nice review, Brandice. I liked this one also!
After your glowing review, Brandice, I've got to quit ignoring this one. I hope I don't ruin it, by seeing the movie first.
It will be interesting to see if the movie is true to the book!
