________________________
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.

##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.
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##“First find out what you are capable of, then decide who you are.“ 一口气看完觉得Tara这种才是PhD的料… 我大概就是那种failing my PhD的人……
