Reviews for I Want To Be Left Behind
14 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5It should be titled 'How I survived my fundamentalist family.' To be honest it is mostly juvenile; however, it did make a turn when she finally realizes her own bigotry and intolerance at play.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoyed this memoir. It was well-written, compelling, funny, serious, and engaging. My background is different from Peterson's but we share a love of forests, Puget Sound, and the awe that comes from the world around us. I appreciated the struggles she went through, and her deep love for her family despite all the differences.
