Review of The Glass Castle by student blogger "Isi" is valuable to those who read the memoir because Isi is an English student who blogs about the books she reads. Reading a review from a fellow student can be very helpful for students. Isi's review entices readers who may not have begun reading the memoir. For example, if you are a student and The Glass Castle is on a reading list that your professor has provided to you, reading Isi's review may aid you in your decision on whether or not to choose this memoir from the list. The blog summarizes and analyzes the memoir without giving away too much. Isi gives the memoir a rating of 4/5 and also suggests readers to go on to read Walls’ Wild Horses. The blog post received a long list of comments from readers, which are also interesting to read. One comment in particular by Marie, discusses how she is a student “struggling” to select a book to read for a class she is taking and that Isi’s review of The Glass Castle has given her some much needed guidance. Isi responds to Marie’s comment with great advice and mentions the fact that this memoir is “not focused on pain and desperation” (Isi, 2013). This blog is a good place to start when investigating The Glass Castle. Although it does not offer an extensive analysis, it is a good review and summary of the memoir.
