Shane’s Take — The Glass Hotel

This isn’t exactly a story about “nothing”. In fact, quite a bit happens throughout. However, it doesn’t really have a true climax. Instead, this does a good job of showing lives that are intertwined and how events and decisions in life have a rippling impact on not only our lives but the lives of those around us. Set against the backdrop of a Madoff-like Ponzi scheme in 2008, we travel through the lives of the people it touched, as well as the lives of those one step removed. How much do our decisions impact others? Where does our responsibility lie? These are the questions that all of us must wrestle with.
