Summary: It was GOOD!
Review: A Review by Sherri
I 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!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS BOOK IS SO AWSOME!

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.

Review: 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?

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Very Good i loved it!!!!!!
Review: it wasn't a waste of time, either. It's about a 16 year old girl named Beth who is forced to go along with her mother to her mother's childhood home. Hanny Lynn, Beth's mother, ran away from her family when she was a teenager and hasn't had contact with them since, and for a good reason! But what secret is hiding under the surface of this family? And why does Aunt Iris hate Hanny Lynn so much?

It was a little disappointing. I was expecting so much more from this book, but I do have to say the characterization was strong. I liked the contrasting personalities - especially that of drunken Aunt Iris. And the whole glass concept woven into the book was interesting as well. All in all, I'd probably give it a B.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Glass Housed People
Review: The Glass House People - By Kathryn Reiss

The protagonist in this book is Hannah. When Hannah was fifteen she ran away from her family, and house. She did this because she felt like she was in love with her sisters 'to be' husband. One night Hannah was talking to him in his bedroom, and Iris (Hannah's sister), walked in, and got the wrong idea. That night he was told to leave the house right away by Hannah's an Iris's parents. They were all crowded around the top of the staircase, and somehow he fell, cracked his head on the radiator, and died. Hannah's goal was to have a good relationship with her family, but mainly her sister. Since what happened, she wasn't sure if they would forgive her.
Hannah's barrier is when she brings her children, Tom, and Beth to her family at her old house, Iris is still thinking that Hannah pushed her husband . Iris refuses to forgive her sister. At the end of the book, they figure out who really pushed him.
I liked the author's writing style because she didn't go on and on, but instead she just explained what needed to be explained. When I first started to read this book, I thought that it was going to be a romance. I decided to keep reading though, and found that it was more of a mystery. I'm not one who loves mysteries, but I liked this one a lot! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries, or who likes to read books that seem realistic.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Glass House People
Review: This book was a good book. It kept me want to read on and on. The only reason I gave it **** is because I got kind of confused during the middle of it. Here's my summary on the book:

A teenage girl named Beth has to go with her mom and brother to stay with her mom's family. She has to leave behind her boyfriend, Ray, with whom she works at a stained glass store. Her mom ran away from home when she was 17 and hadn't been back since then. When they get to the house, Beth meets her crazy, drunk aunt named Iris. Iris severly dislikes Beth's mom, who's name is Hannah. Beth is not really sure why. In this book, Beth finds out what truly happened the night before Hannah ran away and why she did.
This book leaves you hanging on the edge of your seat waiting to see what comes next!! Enjoy!!
