5.0 out of 5 stars House of Stairs illuminated the depths of the human spirit., 14 April 1997
By A Customer
House of Stairs chilled me to the very core. Sleator really made the reader feel as if they were trapped in the house of stairs with the characters, left to their natural instincts for survival. It was scary to discover how far our instincts will go, even to the point of harming others. The book could be a definite prequel for 1984, testing just how much the human spirit can plummet before death. The ending seemed a tad unrealistic, but it was a young adult novel, and happy endings are better anyways.

5.0 out of 5 stars House of Stairs a beginning of my social/political awareness, 3 Mar 1998
By A Customer
I think this book, with Fahrenheit 451, really brought me into a deep awareness of the importance of personal integrity - regardless of societal pressures; that those pressures are not always healthy for society, and that they can end in tragedy. I joined the school council and started volunteering. A real beginning!
