When I first decided to read this book, I didn't think I would like it very much because it is not the type of literature I usually read. But, let me tell you, from the moment I started the first section, I couldn't put this book down. The beginning of Jeannette's life was very frantic and crazy, her family nomads, and her parents not taking responsiblity for their kids. But I belive that all that crazy life made Jeannette and her siblings so much stronger. I think it was amazing how smart they were and the fact that it was their parents that taught them all that. I really liked the parents in the beginning of the story when they lived in the dessert. They were a very strong family, even if they were not together all the time. Jeannette's parents were such passionate people who loved what they did and were very very smart.
Although I am thoroughly enjoying this book--I can't put it down-- I definetly cannot relate to Jeannette's life at all. There is no connection what so ever. It's amusing to read about a life that I have never experianced and to realize taht there really are people out there who live like this everyday. It was probably more common when Jeannette was a child, but I'm not an expert so I really don't know. All and all though, I am really into this book and will kepp reading it.
