What to say about Are You In The House Alone? Truly an afterschool special. Manipulative; message-based; preachy at the end....and good. The people made sense, you know? Everyone was a person I knew--everyone talked and acted just like my own parents and friends might have, back in the seventies, when confronted with a ugliness outside their experience. There were no villains, not even the perp--he was just as much a victim as his victims. It was real as real and twice as life-size.
I'm scared to recommend this to a teenager--it'd keep them up all night. First reading and then checking the windows.
