Escape Room is a super-smart, super-fast read. High pace,high stakes and rip-roaring! MARVELLOUS!” Julie Pike, author of The Last Spell Breather This scenario would send anyone into a complete melt down but myself even more so as I personally am terrified of elevators! The author has a great skill of making you feel like you are right there in the elevator. With the fine details of how stuffy and dark it is and the feeling of panic building within each person in the elevator as they realize, this just might not be a game. They might really not be getting out in one hour as they had thought. When the lights in the elevator go out and it starts to get hotter in the confined space, they're desperate to solve the challenge and get out. But when the clues start to remind them of errors they've made and people they've wronged, they begin to realize this isn't just any escape room challenge. Someone is clearly out to get them—but is it one of the four of them, or someone else? How far are they willing to go to escape and save themselves?Okay, so what if it involves an escape room? Sounds like fun right!? You bet! Right up to the exact moment you realize… this may no longer be a game!

Al met al, ondanks wat stomme dingetjes, was dit toch een boek wat ik erg leuk vond om te lezen. Het had veel spannende momentjes! Dus ik zou het zeker aanraden. The story is told via multiple third-person perspectives and one first-person narrative, which was my favourite, despite all the craziness going on in the elevator. Anyway. This was fun. The prologue gives you the outcome, and the rest of the novel is one-crazy-ride as to how four-corporate investment-bankers: Vincent, Sam, Jules and Sylvie - find themselves in an express elevator to hell.Dan hebben we Sky, waarvan ik dacht dat het een meid was tot we op een gegeven moment zien dat iemand hem op de schouder tikt. :P Dus dat was een beetje verwarrend. Verder was ie wel een redelijk karakter maar ik was wel boos op hem om Caitlyn. Ik snap dat je niet x wilt doen, maar je moet wel eerlijk doen. Die meid houdt echt van je, wil echt verder met je, en jij speelt gewoon een spel. Bah. De verrassing over wat zijn geheim was? Wel, ik had het zeker niet verwacht. This was definitely a fast paced, unique, to say the least, take on escape rooms! I always wanted to try one, but this is one escape room, that I'm very glad, I didn't partake in!! By the end of the book the message was clear. This will certainly be of interest to readers on a number of levels, and I’m definitely going to recommend this to a number of students who have an interest in environmental issues. Every element this contained combined to ensure it a fun reading experience, which centred upon an escape room but included so much more. It proved more educational than expected and definitely included more twists than anticipated, too. Every reader, of all ages, will benefit from the moral ending and I closed this book feeling far more pensive and melancholy than I thought this seemingly fun children's book could ever make me.

A fast-paced, adrenaline rush to save the world and with a twist I didn’t see coming! Gill Lewis, author of Sky Hawk Ami is treated to an Escape Room experience by her father, and she is keen to show her skills. Upon entering the room she is surprised to have to join with four other children, each of whom seems to have their own set of skills. Their Host tells them that, in fact, they have been chosen to save the world and that they need to find the answer. Midway through the book I really felt that the tension unraveled and a lot of what happens in the escape room is predictable although completely unbelievable. What will four characters with no redeeming qualities do when trapped together with little water, no food and in darkness??? There are clues that they find or are displayed on a monitor which make little sense and do nothing to help them out of this situation. Considering these are supposed brilliant people they are pretty slow to realize that this is not an ordinary escape room experience.Learn more about Journal 29. 12.

His stories fizz with ideas, the perfect fodder for the child with more questions than answers.” The Times, Children’s Book of the Week

But none of them could imagine just how challenging the next ten days are going to be.The latest mind-blowing novel from award-winning author Christopher Edge, Escape Room is a thrilling adventure that challenges readers to think about what they've done to save the world today. rounded down, as a character didn't read a newspaper she was offered at the end, and I wanted to know what that person thought about certain things. The rooms the group explores included one where “old computers come to die” and an abandoned mall. I loved trying to figure the rooms out alongside the kids. Had I been invited to play, though, I would have been eliminated very early on. I was fortunate to be part of the blog tour for The Escape Room. Thanks to St. Martin's Press for an advance copy of the book in exchange for an unbiased review! I loved the second half better than the first half. I couldn't put it down because I wanted to find out what was going to happen next. I found this to be very unbelievable but I thought the author had a great imagination and it is a great story.
