The Glass Castle

I am now more than half way through this book and it has gotten alot more interesting. Battle mountain was very interesting and was also really the first time the kids had to fend for themselves. After that they went to Phoenix. In Phoenix they had a nice big house which had been given to them by the mothers mom. They also had inherited some money which left them pretty well off for a while. They even had bikes and the father had a steady income. This is why i don't understand why the father lost his job and they decided to move out of this big house that they owned. Not just that they decided to go to a small town where Rex's parents live. And they weren't exactly the nicest people in the world. The grandpa was not that bad and neither was Uncle Stanley, but the grandma was insanely mean. She did not treat the at all right and forced them all to stay in the basement. And once the kids parents left to recover their stuff it got worse. She tried to sexually assault Brian and when Lori fought back they were banished to the basement. Once the parents got back they yelled at Lori for striking her family and the whole family was kicked out of the house. Now I do not agree with this because why should Lori and Jenny get yelled at for protecting their brother. There is alot more of this type of thing starting to occur. I believe this will be what tears the family apart.
