AP English summer reading?

Question

We have to read one of the following books.
Angela’s Ashes, by Frank McCourt

The Glass Castle: A Memoir, by Jeanette Walls
Mississippi Solo: A River Quest by Eddy Harris
Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster, by Jon Krakauer

Which is the best read? Thanks :)

Answer 1

The Glass Castle is an excellent book; as a narrative of Jeanette Walls' life, it's very well-written, and easy read, and certainly not boring as a result of everything that she entails through her life story. I've read one Krakauer book in my life (Under the Banner of Heaven); although he's a great journalist and writer, it can get tedious, long, and at times he can seem pretentious. I would look at some online reviews if I were you to get a broader perspective than anyone on Y! Answers can provide.

Answer 2

One? You suck haha. We have to read three. Well i've read something by Jon Krakauer, and although an account about what happened to him may seem boring, it was actually quite interesting. So i'd go for that one.

Answer 3

damn i got three books to read too!!! I soooooo hate reading
