Escape Room: The Times Children's Book of the Week

Product Information

I love reading all kinds of books and this book was a fun one which did not require much thought but had a huge pay off in terms of enjoy-ability.

Goldin pulled off this clever tale of involving high finance, back stabbing, revenge, and ingenuity with finesse which left me not only impressed but entertained. This was actually sitting at a solid 3 or 4 stars the whole way through, but the ending dropped it for me significantly. This book also could have benefited from some editing--it is extremely redundant and the narrative structure is a little odd. Voake's fast-paced psychological thriller weaves themes and characters from Hoffman's Struwwelpeter tales into a modern American backwoods setting. Participation is mandatory, however, so each of them dutifully arrives at the requested location, a remote office building in a shady part of town, right on schedule.It seems that winning the escape room isn't all they are fighting for, the continuation of the entire planet is! Wives, family, and girlfriends are accessories and not allowed to interfere with the earning of more accolades and more money. Plus, the way the book is set out means there is no twist or reveal-- it is obvious pretty much immediately what is going on and who is responsible. Four colleagues - Vincent, Jules, Sylvie and Sam - are trapped in an elevator (or "lift", as I would say) in a bizarre corporate team-building exercise and are presented with clues to help them escape.

Sara seems a little more self aware and concerned about how the company cares nothing for people and only for the bottom line.At its heart, a complex Revenge Thriller, this stoked my Slytherin heart, as I stan a character with the dedication for a long game. The main focus for me when taking a look at a book, much like in a physical escape room, is immersion. I was also confused by the fact that after completing a section, the book will sometimes reveal the code/ answer you have been working on and sometimes it won’t. If you enjoy authors like Sarah Pekkanen, Greer Hendricks, and Wendy Walker, you'll want to add Megan Goldin to your list of go to authors. Kelly kind of evil ( evil looks like Tinkerball when you compare him with those in humans) characters.

There may be a strong message flung at the reader, just as the characters are heartlessly flung into danger, but it’s a message worth thinking about. This fast-paced adventure is full of twists and turns, and some seriously tough puzzles for readers to try and work out. The game experience should last no longer than 90 minutes from entering the building until you leave.By completing your purchase, you agree to Audible's Conditions of Use and authorise Audible to charge your designated card or any other card on file.
