Comments on December's Selection:
Comments from the Book Discussion Group at DeSoto Library regarding our December selection:
The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
Marie: “It was hard to read but I'm glad I finished it.”
Judy: “I would recommend it, but had to sit it down at times.”
Brenda: "An excellent memoir, such a negative experience told in such a positive voice."
Sue: “If you think you had a dysfunctional childhood, you need to read this book and I think it will change your mind.”
May: “If you think you were poor growing up, read this.”
Janine: “This book ought to be depressing but is somehow quietly triumphant.”
Rose: “It was hard for me to believe until I heard the author in person.”
Ann: “The book made me uncomfortable and depressed.
