A review by irina_sky
Educated by Tara Westover

3.0

I was really expecting much more from this book, due to all the hype it received last year, I was prepared for the best read of the year. To be honest, I wanted to like and enjoy this book more. I pondered on most of Tara's thoughts, views and beliefs, as well as those of her family members' and tried to elicit some sanity out of this whole story. It was too much for me.
The only thing I liked was the choice of words, the style, some metaphors. I know opening up to the entire world about your private life and your family takes a lot of guts. So it's also a big achievement of any memoir, not only this one.
In a nutshell, I'm glad I'm finished with it...
