Melissa 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.)

Melissa Im only halfway through Educated, so this may change. There are definitely reasons to compare and contrast it with Glass Castle. So far, I like Glass …moreIm only halfway through Educated, so this may change. There are definitely reasons to compare and contrast it with Glass Castle. So far, I like Glass Castle much more. It had a lot more funny and light-hearted moments to break up the rather abusive things that happen. Another person who replied said the narrator of Glass Castle just seemed more "likeable" and I think that is where I am at too. Don't get me wrong, I am still enjoying Educated but I think it's a bit drier than GC.(less)
