By Tara Westover. Random House; 385 pages; $28. Hutchinson; [pounds sterling]14.99
A riveting memoir of a brutal upbringing. The author grew up in a normally opaque environment: a Mormon survivalist household in Idaho, where she endured abuse and received no education. Despite not setting foot in a classroom until she was 17, she made it to university and wound up with a PhD from Cambridge.
##Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds. 读完中文版又找来英文原版读,好像没那么惊艳了,比起英文书名,Flee as a bird to your mountain作为中文名,特别值得高亮加粗下划线标记一下。

评分##在最需要快速阅读技术书籍的时候花了大量时间读了这本回忆录…唉,我也希望我能用同样的兴趣来读技术书啊…就像tara读文献的那种dedication。加油!
评分##读的很慢很慢的一本书。很多内容让人震撼。我在想要不要把中文版买来认真读一读。
