Anna answers “Couldn't put it down, I nearly finished...”

Noelyn asked this question about Educated:

Couldn't put it down, I nearly finished the entire book in one sitting. But I'm curious, does anyone know how it compares to The Liar's Club and The Glass Castle? (I'm wondering if I'm amazed at this memoir solely because I haven't read anything similar to this before, and that if I had read those two books prior to this, I wouldn't have been as mesmerised by Educated.)

Anna I read all 3 memoirs and Glass Castle is my favorite. I personally found Jeannette Walls a more likeable narrator. Memoirs are my favorite genre, and …moreI read all 3 memoirs and Glass Castle is my favorite. I personally found Jeannette Walls a more likeable narrator. Memoirs are my favorite genre, and I have read many. Glass Castle remains in my top 10 favorite books. I felt that Walls had come to a level of acceptance with her family that seemed unobtainable with Westover. I liked them in this order. 1. Glass Castle 2. Liar's Club 3. Educated. (less)
