Tara Westover gives an interesting insight into what it isike growing up in a rural part of America with survivalist parents (0 more)
I found her life to be interesting but the writing itself to be quite clinical at points. (0 more)
An interesting view on what makes an education
Tara Westover's story needs to be read to be believed. She grew up in a mountain in rural America in the 90's and had to overcome a lot of struggles brought on by her parents increasingly extreme Mormon beliefs. The story itself is extremely interesting, however I struggled eith the writing style, finding it often quite detached.

Wow…
 Where do I even start with this book? Jennifer Uhlarik did an amazing job with the historical aspects of this book. I loved a glimpse into rural fort life and that of a female doctor during the turn of the last century. The emotions and actions of the characters were very engaging and believable. I so enjoyed the love story

While it is excellent work, this is not really an entertainment read. Ward lays out so much in story far more powerfully than any essay on American race relations, trauma, privilege, and rural southern life ever could. It was chilling, moving, eyeopening for me. I definitely want to read Ward's other books.

The audiobook is very well done as well, read by a talented cast.
