by Jeanette Wall

If you read The Glass Castle, you are going to love this. Wall's writing is impeccable and it was great to hear the background story of her parents growing up with their parents (Wall's grandparent). Page turner.

I enjoyed the story and the message to be grateful and enjoy life. The writing style from time to time lost me. But overall enjoyed it.

I was surprised about the information she shared such as not wanting Obama to be present until 2016, really not thinking he would be one and having to go through invitro to have a children. This book did not disappoint and could not stop reading.

The book had a good idea and started off strong in its depiction of a figure from history but as it progressed it seemed rushed even the ending.

I told a while to get thru but I enjoy the story. It was a little upsetting about what he did to her the crazy guy for the books. And I felt sorry for her husband what he went thru as a child. The book reminds me of another story I read but I can't remember the name. I enjoy Kings books and I can't wait for next one. I like how she was able go into his world
