1.The Glass Castle: A MemoirThe Glass Castle: A Memoir
from Scribner
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
I applaud all the five star reviews who actually "GOT IT", in stark contrast to the negative ones who were obviously too short-sighted and couldn't see the forest for the trees. The author's depth of character is to be admired for her insight and compassion to see the redeeming qualities in her... more info

I read aloud so many parts of this great book to my husband that he just had to read the whole thing for himself - brought back many, many memories - funny how hard times can be remembered so favorably!

4.The Lost Boy: A Foster Child s Search for the Love of a FamilyThe Lost Boy: A Foster Child's Search for the Love of a Family
from HCI
Price: $10.36

Customer Review:
Some of the writing is uneven, the plot a little bit disjointed, but in fairness to the author, he is writing from the perspective of a twelve-year-old boy.
This book is vitally important, because there still isn't much in the way of non-fiction written by grown men who were abused as children.... more info

The movie got dozens of poor reviews at Amazon, where readers of the book insisted the book was so much better. I happened to like the movie so I figured the book would be great. It was good, but I liked the movie better.

This is Bryson at his best, funny, fearless, and factual. He took me back to splendid promise of the 50's when we awaited "Better things through chemistry" and believed they would come.

My sister and mother raved about this book, so I finally decided to read it and boy, what a wonderful slice of life book that let's me get a real glimpse of poverty stricken family life in England in the early 1900's.
