Although some of it may seem far-fetched to people who have never been exposed to poverty, it seemed plausible to me. Get out of your suburbs, yes there are people who live like this.I'm not sure whether the mother was mentally ill or just plain selfish, lazy and mean. There are people like that out there. My mother could be pretty self-absorbed at times but FFS she at least made sure we had mac and cheese during the hard times. The eating the candy bar under the blanket scene while the kids were starving pretty much summed it up for me.The father seemed to me like a pretty typical addict, charming when they want something, and selfish, abusive and mean once they get it. Yes he was smart.The fact that the parents were not your typically uneducated poverty-stricken people who didn't know any better but in fact well-educated and (particularly the case with the mother) had they had the smallest inclination to provide the bare minimum of a healthy happy childhood makes it all the worse.I'm sorry...I don't have a lot of sympathy for the parents having lived through some somewhat similar (although thankfully not nearly as God-awful) scenarios myself. Glad the kids made it out ok.
I just love this story about growing up dirt poor in one of the poorest and most depressing coal mining towns in West Virginia. I am a West Virginian, and there were many poor and alcoholic coal miners in my family, so I can really relate to the struggles this family faced. Ms Walls does an excellent job of telling her story so the reader feels like they were there. I could feel her pain, anger and disappointment to the point that I shed tears more than once. I read the book shortly after it was published, and just read it again after seeing the movie, which was also excellent. This book is easily one of my top five best books ever.
This was a memorable and troubling story written from a child's perspective (my favourite kind of story). Folks are commenting that Jeannette did not judge or condemn her parents for their miserable failings. What I suspect is simply that she was highly intelligent and had keen insight into their psychology and knew, on a deeper level than most children, they were "doing the best they could" in a sense. Only she knows what is in her heart. I got the sense she accepted and saw reality clearly. Her zest for life, insatiable curiosity and hopeful-ness in spite of her parents' failings made her a rare exception among people who are raised in such a way, in my opinion. What I admire most about her is that she never gave up and resigned herself or allowed what was clearly abnormal to become normal.
Excellent description of places, excellent representation of how people speak, excellent presentation of the children's growing maturity and awareness. The author writes with compassion for her parents, but as a reader this book made me angry over and over as the adults indulged themselves with selfishness, immaturity, and alcoholism, leaving themselves and their children hungry and cold and the children haphazardly educated, even molested. The children's transition from a life of abject poverty to new lives in New York City is painted with broad strokes, and I can't help thinking there's another book in there. They would have had to learn how to live as adults in an urban environment, how to relate to people differently, how to see themselves as something other than the bottom of the social structure. When the author presents the scene in which she learns that her mother actually had a substantial amount of money - a fact that is hinted at throughout the book - and fully understands that none of it had to happen, she handles it without anger. The closing scene with its repetition of the image, "dancing along the border between turbulence and order," is satisfying.
I began to doubt the truth of this memoir when she referred to Fish Creek Canyon, Arizona, as being West of Bullhead City. The only state West of Bullhead City is Nevada and Fish Creek Canyon is far to the East in the Superstition Mountains near Phoenix Arizona. Sloppy work. Where is the publisher's fact-checker? If one writes about place and from place they need to know what they are talking about. I also found her descriptions of the desert generic. The Sonoran is not the northern basin-range.
This book was disturbing and depressing. I had hoped that the author would share some sort of insight into surviving neglect and abuse, but I sensed a sort of "top this" arrogance in her writing. She described her childhood as an adventure. Her recounting was emotionless. This is not a book that will help survivors of abuse. Perhaps it is for those who never experienced such hardship and find it fascinating. I read a few chapters. Now I am deciding whether to put this book on the shelf or simply throw it in the fire.
Excellent read. I finished this book in 42 hours. I could not put it down. I was surprised and amazed to hear it was on the New York Times best sellers list for 2 years in a row. Amazing. Not only did this book remind me of my own childhood. It reminded me of how far i have come and how grateful i am for all of my blessings. If you ever hear of anyone complain about their finances, send them to read this book. I commend the parents in this book for having emotional issues yet NEVER ripping away at the emotional beings of the children. One of my favorite lines is when the Dad said to Jeannette she has an "Inner Beauty". So touching. My 14 year old daughter brought this book home from school Friday the 20th Shouting in excitement and waving it in front of me saying MOM you have to read this book, I finished it 5:30 in the morning Sunday the 22nd. Couldn't even wait to get my amazon order on Sunday. I ate this book up. Thank you Jeannette Walls for writing your story, my daughter has had food every single day of her entire life. Now she knows my childhood stories are not crazy and i was not the only one who grew up starving. Blessings to you and yours. Heather Renee
