Publisher's summary

If you like The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell, then you'll love this thriller novel, with a strong female protagonist.

Perfection is through that door, but at what price?

The Room is a thriller fictional novel set in the not-so-distant future. It subtly questions how technology and its ability to control the human mind can affect life itself.

We join Jasmine at the brink of devastation; her life is certainly not going the way she'd like, and she intends to do something about it.

A job offering at a place named only as "The Room" saves her. But as she unveils the mastery of this mysterious place, and the people who created its extraordinary abilities, is it as beautiful as she initially thinks?

The Room gives you perfection, but at what cost?

Preview from The Room:

"At the end of the street, just far away enough from where the body of a woman lay like a discarded rag, and where a police cordon stemmed the tide of a curious crowd, a Birmingham News Today channel van was parked up. The back doors were wide open, giving way to the strain of stacked wires and cable spools. Burrowed deep in this mess of snaking technology, a makeshift desk was the only clear space; a laptop sat on the plywood, glowing white against the night's sky."

---------------------
More information on The Room:

A reporter watches as a second body falls from the window of a place called mysteriously known only as "The Room". But as he looks at the fallen mess, he realises that both of the bodies shouldn't be there.

Jasmine is given a second chance with a job at The Room; a place that claims to provide you with perfection. But will it take her, too?

The Room is a thrilling, psychological novel that explores the inner workings of a human brain, and the desire to live out perfection.

It will get you thinking - just what does having everything do to a human being?

What Just Happened?

This book wasn't for me. I could be stupid, or maybe it so lacked my attention I just didn't notice, but there was some back and forth time jumping that I didn't realize. Also, the character development was lacking and the story seemed to be about 8 hours too long. A lot of pointless buildup bringing in several useless characters, and a very boring ending. The editors description made it sound like a fast paced thriller, but I'll call it "meandering young adult stinker."

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
