I was offered a chance to read "Vogel House".  It took me a while to get into the story and the characters.  My wireless was down so I couldn't read the preview and see what the book was about.  That helped me not have any preconceived ideas as I headed blindly into the story.  It took a while for me to get engrosed into the story.  The characters didn't seem to draw me in.  The story heated up with a turn of events that kept me reading.  I was surprised to find out how young the main character Clarisse was after reading about the drug use and sex scenes.  They were graphic and not written for a young reader.  I did enjoy how she had to use her resources to help her family escape.  I found I liked her grit and spunk especially under pressure.  I was glad to see the family become a stronger unit.  I do have to admit still being curious as to what was in that box her grandmother left her.
