review 1: House of Glass is about a family with two kids that get their house broken into. The four of them are held hostage in their basement. After the first day the 15 year old daughter manages to get her 5 year old brother out of the house and he runs. There are two men who broke into the house, the younger one shot the father after the kid ran away. After a long time the dad ends up dead. The brave 15 year old also manages to find a way to call her aunts son and tell him to have his mom call the police. He does but his mom doesn't listen and she just comes to the house. She is then also held hostage with them. The two men come downstairs and the trip them and somehow get one of the guns. The mom shoots the younger man and the aunt stabs the older one. The younger man dies right... more away and the older man is just injured. After awhile the mom takes the knife and stabs the older man, and he dies. The three of them escape and policeman found the little boy and came to the house. They 4 of them lived happy and safe after that. I loved this book, certainly a book I could get myself into. I would highly recommend this book.
review 2: This was quite a different kind of story. A "normal" American family of a father,mother, and teen daughter and a young son who has a form of mutism (he won't or can't speak to anyone outside of his family) are going through the most comment issues of bickering, an angry daughter, an over protective mother, a husband who has been out of work for over a year. Suddenly their home is invaded by two unknown men who shut them up in their basement. During the course of the story, the reader is not sure what is behind this. Did the husband set it up for insurance purposes? Did the daughter make someone mad who called in a gang? Did the mother do anything to make someone want to hurt her family? Why is this happening? As the invasion turns violent, the reader wonders what is really going on. I thought the book was very good until near the end when the author tied it all up in a fairly neat package. This is definitely not your regular summertime read ~ but it is read-worthy. less
