In fact, you might feel rather uncomfortable at times I certainly did. But if you're uncomfortable, that means Bohjalian's story is striking a nerve.

In The Guest Room Chris Bohjalian tells the story of a bachelor party gone very, very wrong might this book do for bachelor parties what the movie "Fatal Attraction" did for affairs?

It's a book about poor judgement, bad decisions, and worst case scenarios. It's a book about fac I recommend you read this book. It's a book about facing up to the consequences of one's actions, a loss of innocence, and acceptance.

But layered on top of Bohjalian's excellent writing and thriller-like plot development, "The Guest Room" is really a book about the horrors of sexual slavery. Through the characters of Alexandra and Sonia -- Armenian girls kidnapped in their very early teens-- Bohjalian delivers a heart wrenching tale about the very dark side of human trafficking.

It's not easy to read -- and unfortunately it's all too real. Bohjalian also requires the reader to think deeply about sexual politics. What is acceptable male behavior? Female behavior? The man who sells a girl, or the man who buys one? It's always the occupation of last resort.

Note: although I was given a galley, I listened to the audio version of this book, which was excellent. View all 22 comments. Dec 11, Dianne rated it liked it.

This surprised me - I thought this would be a hard-hitting, visceral look at the sex slave industry and it turned out to be more of a light thriller. I'm the outlier here; most Bohjalian fans liked this more than I did.

It was interesting but I felt like more could have been done with this disturbing topic and the characters could have been better developed and less stereotypical. Liked it, didn't love it.

Richard and Kristin Chapman - fortyish, happily married, and living in upscale Bronxville, New York - are the ideal couple. Richard is an investment banker; Kristin is a high school history teacher; and they get along great with their 9-year-old daughter Melissa - who loves movies, fancy tights, and dance classes.

Richard's brother Philip, a hotel manager who's the 'gray sheep' of the family, is about to get married and Richard decides to host a bachelor party in his home. Kristin accommodatingl Richard and Kristin Chapman - fortyish, happily married, and living in upscale Bronxville, New York - are the ideal couple. Kristin accommodatingly takes Melissa to Grandma's house for the night. This lets the boys get on with the fun The groom's friend Spencer - who organizes the party - hires a couple of strippers named Sonja and Alexandra to entertain the guests.

It turns out the 'strippers' translation Thus, the gals are accompanied by two strapping bald bodyguards armed with guns. To cut to the chase: the party guests get VERY drunk and the entertainment progresses from stripping, to lap-dancing, to touching And straight-laced Richard gets carried away and takes Alexandra up to the guest room - where he does some things he's ashamed of.

Sonja grabs a knife from the kitchen and viciously attacks one of the bodyguards, the girls get hold of a gun, the other bodyguard gets shot, and the girls take off in the car that brought them - leaving two dead Russians behind. The cops descend on the house, the party guests are questioned at the police station, and - in the following days - Richard has to face Kristin, his daughter, his bosses, and so on.

Thus, we learn something about the history of the characters as well as what's going on with them after the party. Alexandra grew up in Armenia, studied ballet, and - at the age of fifteen - was tricked into going to Russia to 'become a ballerina'. Instead Alexandra was brutally raped and forced to become a prostitute 'sex slave' , along with other coerced young girls.

Eventually, some of the girls were taken to New York to work. Trouble ensued, the Russian criminals feared exposure, and Sonja thought the bodyguards planned to kill her after the bachelor party.

So she took the bull by the horns And now Alexandra and Sonja are on the run, being sought by the Russian mobsters and the cops. Richard is embarrassed and humiliated after news of the 'sex party' and murders goes public. To add to Richard's troubles, someone with illicit photos tries a spot of blackmail. Kristin has to face her advance placement history students, who - along with their parents - worry that all this will somehow affect their AP scores and college prospects this reaction is so true Kristin also obsesses about Richard doing something she's not sure what with a prostitute, her daughter's worry and distress, and her tainted, bloody house.

Melissa doesn't quite understand what happened, is concerned about her father, and fears her parents might get a divorce. Some of the most engaging scenes in the book are narrated by Alexandra, in good but quirky English. I was drawn in by Alexandra's descriptions of growing up in Armenia with her mother and grandmother, the food they ate, the many Barbie dolls she owned, and her love of ballet. On the down side, the depictions of sex trafficking, and what Alexandra was forced to do not too graphic were disturbing.

The idea that women are used like that - and develop a sort of Stockholm Syndrome and go along with it all - is terrible to think about.

Alexandra talks a lot about her country, and in one scene she describes a horrific earthquake that devastated an Armenian town before she was born. This was enlightening but had almost nothing to do with the plot and pulled me out of the story.

It just didn't seem to belong. Overall, I liked the book very much. It's well-written and tells a compelling and suspenseful story. It also has a broad range of engaging characters that act like real people. Highly recommended. View all 4 comments. Jan 04, JanB rated it liked it Shelves: netgalley. What could possibly go wrong? The girls are probably college-aged and working on the side for a little fun and tuition money. This bad idea turns into a nightmare when the party turns into a night of debauchery and drunkenness, and the strippers murder their Russian bodyguards and go on the run.

This all happens in the first few pages. From here the story is told from multiple viewpoints: the Chapmans, which includes Richard, his wife Kristen and his daughter Melissa, as well as one of the strippers, Alexandra.

Why isn't more being done about sex trafficking? I also think the story suffers from too many issues, the result being none of them are delved into deeply. The story had a lighter feel than I would have expected, given the subject matter.

Still, if you can get past the premise, it's a fast entertaining read that not only explores the sex trafficking trade but also explores how the family deals with the aftermath. View all 18 comments.

The book mimicked real life with many disappointments and struggles. I became so engrossed but never saw that ending coming. This was my first Chris Bohjalian novel, but I certainly will be reading another one. In my opinion, he is a true artist with his talented writing, and I would definitely recommend this book.

Things escalate quickly from drinking, partying, sex and then suddenly to murder.

Richards home, as well as the home of his wife and daughter, becomes a crime scene covered in blood and gore with his life in turmoil. What was to be a simple bachelor party ends up threatening his marriage and his career. Alexandra shares her history in alternating chapters as the current disaster unfolds.

Through her we learn of the many hushed cruelties visited upon young girls forced into the sex trade. Although fiction, the author's in-depth research into child sex trafficking gives us an eye-opening account of this excrutiating reality.

It is easy to see why Chris Bohjalian is a favorite author of mine. His storytelling is incredibly compelling and with each and every novel of his, that I have read so far, I am totally captivated by his brilliant writing. Thank you to Doubleday and NetGalley for this advanced copy to read and review. The first few pages of this book will hook you immediately. Once you find out what has happened, the fallout will keep you turning pages. I think it's the most riveting Bohajlian novel I've read, wonderfully plotted.

Bohjalian looks at a bachelor party, an event so deeply ingrained in American culture that it's expected for any man getting married, an event that is also in large part about the objectification of How To Make A Frame Plant Stand 4g women. Bohjalian doesn't hold back but doesn't preach, either.

He is straightforward about what happens and what these men think after it goes terribly wrong. The center of the book is Richard Chapman, who has a serious crisis of conscience as well as a plain-old crisis after the horrific events. But what's probably most important about this book is the choice Bohjalian makes to give voice to one of the women at the bachelor party who's hired as the "entertainment.

What I wouldn't expect is to see his story in parallel with the story of a woman whose life has been destroyed to such a degree that it is hard to comprehend as a reader.

That is a powerful thing, and that Bohjalian isn't afraid to tell Chapman's story honestly even while he gives us a hefty dose of perspective is hugely appreciated. There are plenty of white men telling stories about white men, so this upheaval of the traditional approach is very, very welcome.

View all 3 comments. Veteran writer Chris Bohjalian has an appreciation for story and character, and he combines a ripped-from-the-headlines topic with a sympathetic family drama. Wealthy investment banker Richard Chapman has been happily married to Kristin, and their nine-year-old daughter, Melissa, is the light of their lives.

Kristin teaches at the upscale private school near where they live in Bronxville. Solid marriage. Happy family. But, what happens when a tragedy of consequences hits home? Well, the party goes awry; two Russian bodyguards are killed by the so-called strippers, who turn out to be sex slaves, and possibly underage. Then they fled. This is how it all begins, and the fallout to family is the crux of the story.

The narration primarily alternates between the Chapman family members and Alexandra, one of the two sex slaves that got away. We learn of her family history, as well as follow her and Sonja, the other fugitive from this mess. Her personal story has its own pile-up of tragedies.

The author humanized Alexandra, but her English was too exceptional for someone in this country only three weeks, with little formal education. It may seem a small complaint, but it was distracting, and made it more difficult to suspend disbelief. Between home and school, there was no escape from the sordid story. As the family tries to mend, and find its way back to each other, the consequences of actions taken become more heightened.

It was too abrupt a change of heart, and in the throes of a dangerous event, seemed incredulous. The story could also have been paced a bit better. There were some irrelevant digressions—and details of a walk-on character during the denouement were immaterial, and seemed placed to keep us in suspense.

And a lot of the content was repetitive. Unfortunately, the thriller aspects seemed derivative to me. But I was able to finish, for wanting to know how this quick read all turned out.

Ok, so some may not like the topic of sex trafficking, but if you can get past that, then this is a fast paced book that will suck you in and keep you reading until the end!

Maybe closer to 3. I've said this before, so again, I think Chris Bohjalian is an amazing writer of the female psyche. I also know that all things Armenian are extremely important to him.

He crafted a very tragic and interesting story of a bachelor party gone horribly wrong when the hired strippers sex slaves kill their handlers at the party host's upper middle class suburban home.

The consequences to the men in attendance were many, especially the host. The story of the girls brought to America for these parties seemed at times to take second place in importance, and that really bothered me. I would have liked to know more about them and other such victims. I wish there had been an author's note at the end to expand more on the sex slave issue.

And the voice of the girl narrating her story was so annoying, maybe I tuned it out myself without even realizing it. This is the first book I have ever read by Chris Bohjalian. In fact, I had never really heard of him before. Which is quite surprising considering how much I read, and the fact that he has written almost 20 novels. So this book is primarily about the sex slave trade, and every second chapter is told from the perspective of a girl who is a sex slave.

And the story she tells of her life is so unbelievably sad. And the people who engage in this business are so despicable, it's enough to make you sic This is the first book I have ever read by Chris Bohjalian. And the people who engage in this business are so despicable, it's enough to make you sick. Basically the story starts out at the main characters house, where he is having a bachelor party for his younger brother.

It has been arranged for these two "strippers" to be there, along with their two guards. Soon actual sex starts happening and then, almost out of nowhere, mayhem ensues. The rest of the book is about the lives of the various characters, and what happens to them, due to the ramifications of what happened at this party.

The writing is quite good and there is definitely enough going on to maintain your interest, but I have to say it's a pretty depressing book in general, and it pretty well stays that way until the very end.

So if you're looking for a book to lift your spirits, this is absolutely not the right one. By the way, this is a new endeavor for me, trying to write a review for almost every book I read.

I'm not really very good at it, but the main thing I'm trying to avoid is giving away very much of the plot. I hate it when you read a review and it tells you almost the whole story. That's why i read books, to find out the story. So, for example instead of describing the main event at the bachelor party in this book, I said "mayhem ensued".

That could be anything. And in order to find out, you have to read the book for yourself. Feb 06, Erin Dunn rated it it was amazing. This is the second book I've read by Chris Bohjalian and I've rated both of them five stars! So I am seeing that I definitely need to read more by Bohjalian. The first one I read by him is The Sleepwalker, see my review for that one here. The book immediately started off with excellent tension and suspense and it stayed fast-paced throughout.

I think the book would have been fine with just Richard and Alexandra's POV, but the added POVs from Richard's wife and daughter really rounded out the story and added in more emotion. I went back and forth between sad, disgusted, and furious.

I mean that in a good How To Make A Frame Look Vintage 86 way because the writing is phenomenal. I will warn you that one main topic in this novel is sex trafficking. I know that not everyone is okay with reading about that subject, but let me just say it's well done in this book. Even though, yes, there are some parts that are a little tough to read. I loved it! It's a gripping, chilling, and intense read. I highly recommend it for all thriller fans!

Sex slavery is a real problem, with real children and teens. It ruins lives. Read this book for them and for yourself. Be aware, it happens right here in the USA! I hope I have done this book justice, there is so much more to say, but I don't want to give it all away. Read this book when it comes out. I know I will be reading all of Chris Bohjalian's books after this one.

Unbelievable read! This is one of my favorite authors and I always love his books. He tells a good story but also makes a social statement. This was another book that I could not put down once I started reading it. I won't give the story away except to say that my only disappointment was the main character did not make it to the end of the story.

He was so likeable and caring and you really wanted things to come out good for him. But overall a very good story. Jul 26, Victoria rated it really liked it. A vocabulary that is awe inspiring and language usage that puts a capital p in prose, Chris Bohjalian is a master storyteller.

The premise of this novel is part social commentary, part cautionary tale and all around suspenseful page turner, absolutely absorbing. What Bohjalian has done here so astoundingly, in alternating chapters, is to provide us both the aftermath of this event and an unfiltered account of the insidious, systematic manipulation and enslavement of a young girl. What makes the narrative so compelling, beyond the astonishing writing, is that all of the characters are realistic and credible.

From the man at the center of the debacle whose life quickly devolves and disintegrates, to the sympathetic, yet understandably angry wife to the grown men with frat boy personas, all of their voices have a ring of authenticity and round out the trifecta of rousing plot, sublime narrative and finely-honed characterization.

This book is outstanding storytelling with heart and just enough enlightenment of a timely social issue. An issue most of us would rather not look at too closely, but are forced to see through the eyes of one of the protagonists.

Now both Richard and Phillip had to explain to their parents, Phillips fiance' and Richards wife and daughter what happened. The Chapman house is cordoned off as a crime scene and Richard is banished to a motel, while his family stays at his mother-in-laws.

Now Kristin has lost faith in her husband and their 15 year marriage. To make matter worse, Richard, an investment banker, is asked to vacate his job.

The girls are on the run - afraid of their captors, equally afraid of the police, having only been in the US for a brief few months and realizing they could be held for murder. This story is told by both Richard and Alexandra - the one Armenian girl that became close to Richard while at the party.

This story is a typical great novel by Bohjalian. There is considerable bad language and references to sex in this story that covers one of the worst true to life evils. It is a fast paced book and hard to put down. View 1 comment. Dec 16, Carol rated it liked it Shelves: fiction.

How you do this will depend on your own preference or way of doing things. I attached all four sides together and then laid the glass down into the wooden frame. Be sure that you stick the tree pieces of frame on the sides that are closed off.

We need to leave the fourth side open as before. Once this is done take the four brackets and use them to reinforce the corners see pictures. Be careful not to use screws that are too long or too big. You don't want to split the wood or have screw tips poking out the other side.

When using the picture frame at the venue, you can remove the fourth frame piece and the adjacent brackets from the open side.

Use the caulking to fill the space between the glass sides and the frame see picture. If your frame material does not allow for a space you should modify the frame overlap to allow for some room.
