Half Broke Horses

I LOVED Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, so it took no convincing for me to pick this one up. The book starts by saying that it's based on a true story, but I guess I didn't read the cover well enough because I didn't realize it was based on Wall's grandmother. It wasn't until the epilogue that I had the delight of recognizing Wall as the descendant of this colorful woman.

The story moseyed along - literally. It could've moved at a much faster clip, but then I'm not sure that would've been at all representative of the story and characters told.

All in all, I enjoyed the story (and the telling from the voice of Lily Casey, Wall's grandmother). Made me want to go back and read Glass Castle through the lens of a more complete family history.
