________________________
Tara Westover and her family grew up preparing for the End of Days but, according to the government, she didn’t exist. She hadn’t been registered for a birth certificate. She had no school records because she’d never set foot in a classroom, and no medical records because her father didn’t believe in hospitals.
As she grew older, her father became more radical and her brother more violent. At sixteen, Tara knew she had to leave home. In doing so she discovered both the transformative power of education, and the price she had to pay for it.

##Listening to the audio book while I was running，I cried all the way.
评分##花了近一个月、终于读完了，真好看啊！！ 作者的语言太美了，故事更是惊人。虽然时常听到对真实性的怀疑，但我个人对其没有异见。在我看来，她的叙述太有力量了，这种力量，只能来自于亲身经历后的痛彻心扉。
评分【藏书阁打卡】2019已读022 这是一本愤怒的书，在房思琪的初恋乐园后，我还没读到过这么让人怒火中烧的书。书名让人以为在讲学校教育给人带来的改变，但其实讲的是女主如何艰难地与她那个荒唐而又疯狂的原生家庭（暴虐癫狂的摩门原教旨主义父亲，无所作为甚至助纣为虐的母亲，还有心理变态的哥哥）剥离，逐渐看清世界，找到真正的自我。这是一种更深层次、更广意义上的教育。阅读的过程让我很痛苦，面对来自家人的精神洗脑、语言暴力和肉体折磨，以及偶尔闪现的麻醉剂一般的温情，作者显得过于软弱，一次次地示弱、让步、道歉，不断反思是否错在自己，唯一的反抗不过是悄悄地逃离。但也许不这样做，她根本无法成功活下来吧，而这本书本身，其实就是作者一场巨大的、不动声色的报复。
评分##希望自己是她，又希望自己不是她。
评分##Give my money back
评分##这是一个自诩爱看书的人从去年九月底硕士开学到现在看完的唯一一本课外书????/我不得不承认看到剑桥的教授说你想上哪读研我都能保你录取的时候我居然有那么一丝不道德的嫉妒????可能有的人就是天赋异禀吧，我认认真真读了十几年的书，还不是被剑桥脆拒了吗????/最后一部分看作者反反复复与过去斗争，一次次回到那个家，看得我好累????
评分##Power of education
评分##Listening to the audio book while I was running，I cried all the way.
评分##文笔算不上多好 但是故事很生动 我们没办法选择自己的出身 自己的家庭和父母 唯一能做的 也就是给自己拼一个未来 想起之前读过的god is not great. 有些宗教信仰真的不算好.
