This sounds like one of those reads that sinks in and makes you think about the bigger picture of Life … Definitely going on the To Read list, but with a notation to remind me NOT to pick it up when I want a fluff/comfort read. Thinking this might fit nicely on a mid-fall day, once the air gets clear and there’s just enough bite to the wind to remind you the sun isn’t as warm as it was a few months ago …

Goshh!! I soooo agree with “The ultimate luxury for me is curling up with a good book and a warm blanket. The next best thing is reviewing books and sharing them with others.” =)

Nice blog! I’m following you. =) My book home is at Ruz’s Bookshelves

Wow, what a wonderful review! Thank you so much for that. This book sound amazing. I will be adding it to my TBR list, but will have to make sure to be in the right mindset before delving into it! To be honest, right now work and life is so hectic I am usually turning to lighter reads, but this sounds wonderful for when life settles down and I can really absorb a book.

I have seen The Glass Room on another blog a while back. When I see a black and white cover, I look for an intense read. Don’t know why I think that way. Anyway, I am definitely ready for a book like this one. At another time I received from somewhere a book about a room. The book is titled The Unit. Now I could read that one as well. In some way this book, in a small way, reminds me of The Unit. Anyway, I would love to read The Glass Room. Great review. Thanks.

I too sometimes just want a light, quick book to read but than most often want a book to really transport me to another place and time, to make me question or learn more about the reality behind the fiction, this souds just like that type of book and I am going to add it to my library list, can’t afford to buy lately.

That sounds deep and very interesting. I like the idea of the house being somewhat of a symbol of the life they desire to lead and the idea they want people to have of them, yet the glass room (transparent and honest) shows the real truth of things. I will definitely have to check this out. Thanks for the review!
