The Glass Castle ~ First Half

Post by Scott »

This is the discussion thread for the first half of The Glass Castle. If you have not read the first half of the book yet, do not read further as the thread may contain spoilers. If you have read past the first half of the book, please participate but do not discuss anything past the first half. I will start the discussion for the whole book next Wednesday.

What do you think of the book so far? Do you like it? Has it caught your interest?

Are there any quotes or excerpts you would like to post? If so, please do.

I am really interested in discussing the dynamics between the author and her dad, but I think I will wait until next week's full book discussion. I'm looking forward to it!
