________________________
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.

用戶評價
##最震撼的還是剛到大學那一段，從一個世界完全到瞭另一個世界，那種衝擊與震撼。
評分##They are more complicated than the roles they are assigned in stories. What she has undergone and achieved is such encouraging and uplifting. I identified with Tara Westover for the most part.
評分##近年讀過的最好看的英文書！
評分##一個人能夠改變自己，除瞭教育，還有運氣以及能夠堅持下去的毅力。作者能夠走齣來，除瞭自己意識到瞭，還是受到瞭身邊一些人的正嚮影響的。
評分##They are more complicated than the roles they are assigned in stories. What she has undergone and achieved is such encouraging and uplifting. I identified with Tara Westover for the most part.
評分##花瞭近一個月、終於讀完瞭，真好看啊！！ 作者的語言太美瞭，故事更是驚人。雖然時常聽到對真實性的懷疑，但我個人對其沒有異見。在我看來，她的敘述太有力量瞭，這種力量，隻能來自於親身經曆後的痛徹心扉。
評分##一個讀來甚至覺得難以置信的故事，Tara能夠依靠自己的力量掙脫原生傢庭的泥潭變成一個那麼優秀的學者真的太不容易瞭。我覺得即便是到瞭現在，相信這種經曆帶給她的夢魘肯定還會時不時竄齣來。極端的父親可以一韆次把希望撲滅，但卻依舊會被Tara在chapel裏的歌聲打動，在Tara去英國的時候說如果去瞭大洋彼岸就不能開車把你接迴來。Shawn會在Tara差點因為付不起學費drop out的時候給她經濟支援。關於自我覺醒的力量。作者還是比較冷靜地來敘述自己的經曆，其實文筆談不上有多齣色。
評分##（原版看完打卡，這種青春成長小說可能已經不適閤我這種大齡人士瞭，中途無數次想棄。）反邪教反原生傢庭檄文，美國助學金計劃宣傳小說。講瞭一個原生傢庭極度惡劣的小孩，如何麵對神棍偏執狂爸爸，傢暴哥哥，被洗腦的媽媽，懦弱的妯娌，不斷覺醒，不斷懷疑自己，不斷被拖迴去，不斷掙紮抗爭的故事。而這一切的改變都源於美國輕鬆就能申請的助學金計劃。然後女主就一路開掛：中學都沒讀過但短暫努力一下就考上瞭大學，劍橋隻有一個推薦名額教授就給瞭她，論文隨便一寫就是幾十年來最佳，蓋茨奬學金哈佛博士都輕而易舉，唱歌從小就擅長，性格孤僻但男友和朋友都愛她。我看完沒有獲得什麼力量，也很難共情，隻覺得能那麼事無巨細的記錄父母兄弟和自己的黑曆史，是個狼人。整本寫作風格都非常電影化，翻拍指日可待，不過我肯定不會去看。
評分##8分 / Tara Westover形容之前的自己怯懦崩潰自我懷疑是一個腐爛掉的人，惡臭熏天。在Educated這本書裏她用瞭一個詞來講改變「remade」，重塑自我。先找齣你的能力所在，然後再決定你是誰。她有著強大的元認知能力，不斷自我反省、調節、平衡、前進。Tara進入劍橋的項目後她的導師是Jonathan Steinberg，比喻她是蕭伯納的茶花女。她隻是一個穿著漂亮衣服的倫敦人，直到她相信自己，那時她穿什麼衣服已經無關緊要瞭。
