The Glass House People

Five stars is the right rateing for this book, I started to read it, and I couldn't put it down!!! Beth is stuck in a car going to her grandparents house for the first time with her brother and widower mother. Beth doesnt even want to be there she was forced to go by her mother. When they reach their destination, Beth is amazed that this is the enviornment that her mother grew up in. Beth soon learns that all isn't what it appears. Her crazy aunt is always yelling at her and her mother for some unknown reason. Beth soon learns the startling truth. Her aunt was to be married but the man was killed by falling down the steep stairs and hitting his head on the radiator. Beth wanders for answers and starts to find some interesting information, her mother was a "rebel" in her younger years and was trying to split the marridge of her sister and her fiance. Later she learns that it might be her mothers fault!!! Will she ever know who did it??? An absolute must-read mystery book. It will keep you wondering to the very end!

It was GOOD!

A Review by SherriI thought this "The glass house people" was a good book, I thought Hannah was the best character though, because she was accused for killing someone, so it was like a mystery. It seemed like you were actually in the story, like when they got to their grandmas and grandpas house. They explained how the house was, and what it looked like. I would give this book a rating of 5 stars, because it was GOOD! I think anyone who likes mysteries should read this book; it's an AWESOME book!

An awesome book!

I just finished reading this book. It was awesome, and I couldn't put it down! The characters were very realistic, and I could picture everything. The plot was great. It was full of suspense. I would reccomend this book to anyone who likes mysteries. Here's my summary: Hannah, who left her family 20 years ago, has decided to come back home. She and her family re-encounter the tragedy that happened so many years ago. Can they finally work out their problems after such a long time trying to ignore it?

THIS BOOK IS SO AWSOME!

Hey Everybody, I read this book and I thought it was GREAT.It has a good plot. It has good charchter structure. I started reading it and it was BORING. But after I got into it I couldn't stay aways from it I read it in 3 days striaght and it is like a 300 page book. Mostly it's about a family that is falling apart casue a tradegy that happened lots of years ago. Thnax for listening to my opinon.
