My Last Responses

I loved the way this book ended. It wasn't one of those books that leaves you hanging, it left you thinking. Although the whole family wasn't all together, they still were very happy with where they all were in their lives.

I ended up really liking this book. At first I didn't like it because I felt like I was just reading about someones life. But by the end I could not put it down. I still can't believe that this is a true story. Jeannette became so successful from pretty much nothing. I was surprised because most people in poverty continue to live in poverty, but three out of the four kids made it out with great accomplishments. I still don't know why their mom chose to live in poverty when she very well could have gotten her self out because she was a good teacher. Even though their dad wasn't always able to provide for him, he was an amazing dad. He always wanted the best for his kids, and taught them things that were very valuable. If it wasn't for him I don't think that his kids would have come this far.



This is an interview of Jeannette Walls. It answered some of my questions that i had throughout the book and tells you a little bit more about her.
