[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I enjoyed the story but wasn't blown away like the others here seem to have been. I've read memoir's that drew me in more and where the evolution of the person made more sense to me. It wasn't clear where her drive to learn and change came from. Her decisions seemed to just happen. Not that she isn't incredible and her story isn't meaningful. Just the narrative didn't strike me as it seemed to others.[/quote] Just got off the library waitlist. Agree with this. I am still marveling as to how you can go from no schooling to a 28 on the ACT. Not that she wasn't smart but there had to be huge gaps in her learning and it would seem she needed a lot of remedial work. While growing up, her reading material was extremely limited. She seemed to gloss over it. [/quote] There's obviously intelligence in the family. Two of her brothers have PhDs in science, right? [/quote]
