Summary & Analysiz ofEducated: A Memoirby Tara WestoverDisclaimer: This is a summary, review of the book Educated: A Memoir and not the original book. You can find the original here: https: //www.amazon.com/dp/0525589988
Important note: This is not a review for Educated by Tara Westover. This is a review for a summary of that book, by Napoleon Hook, (a nom de plume if ever there was one) which I read in an attempt to refresh my memory bc I’d read the actual book awhile back and needed to remind myself about it for book club. This summary was horrble and vague. It’s like the author took a blurb from the back cover of the actual book and just expanded it with blather, chapter by chapter. Idk how he managed to fill so many pages with next to nothing. The entire time I was reading this, I couldn’t help but think to myself : This is why students’ book reports are so horrible! They read this sort of crap instead of an actual book, and then when asked to develop an essay, have no textual examples to support their argument. I never knew that summaries of this sort existed for nearly everything, even contemporary works.....hhhmmm, I should write some myself. I could do a better job.
This was a very quick read and quite different from the usual. I love memoirs but could not immerse myself in this story. There was not much detail about the characters and i do not feel satisfied after finishing it.
