I really loved her first book as well and am glad she came out with another. I hope I get it for Christmas :)
Loved both books. I would love to talk with someone who reads this book before the read Glass Castle. Might be a whole different way to understand the charaters.

I agree with you on this Kate! It would have altered the way we viewed Rosemary in The Glass Castle.
I am reading The Glass Castle right now and I'm loving it. I din't realize it took place in Arizona and I happen to be on my way to Arizona when I started it. Loved it even more. Looking forward in reading Half Back Horses. Thank you Jeannette for sharing your story. It's very inspirational in so many ways!
I loved The Glass Castle and just finished The Silver Star, which I also loved. Then I remembered I had Half Broke Horses somewhere, but had not gotten around to reading it, so I started it last week. So far I'm really enjoying it. I'm not tearing through it like I did the other two, it's a little slower going, but part of that is me just not reading as much or as often as usual. I should be reading right this minute, instead of hanging out on the computer TYPING about reading!
I just finished The Glass Castle (best book ever) two days ago and I am now reading Half Broke Horses. I am SO excited!
I read The Glass Castle years and years ago and am now finishing up Half Broke Horses. I think I'm going to have to read Glass Castle again because this explains so much about her mother--about Rosemary. I don't remember all the details of Glass Castle, so now I want to read it while the portrait of Rosemary is so fresh!
Both books really grabbed me. I just love Jeannette Walls' writing.
I recommend the audiobook. Jeannette reads it herself, which adds a richness to the story that just can't be conveyed in text. Only someone from that place/time/era (not that the author was from that era but she had access to it) could understand how matter-of-factly Lily lived and could express it in the way they talked.
