review 1: What if you had the choice of choosing a life with fame, wealth and power or a life with a deep and meaningful relationship with God? What if you had the opportunity to wander back and forth between both lives and see the results of those choices? If you liked THE SHACK you will like this. Micah receives a home from his late uncle which was built just for him. With the help of this very strange, beautiful and spiritual house and a set of letters left to him by his uncle, Micah sets out, not always willingly, on a journey of difficult choices, forgiveness, self discovery, faith and love. Many moments of thoughtful reading here.
review 2: I like James Rubart and loved 2 of his previous books, Soul's Gate and Memory's Door. Rooms was another trip into the wonde... morers of what God can do on levels that defy our basic understanding of Him. Rooms was an interesting book based on the premise of what relationships and choices do to your life. I loved the house and the rooms! Very interesting and exciting! I liked the characters Rick,and Sarah. I was not as accepting of the main character Micah. I think he was extremely stupid for a software genius, and I found him irritating. Some very obvious truths he just could not seem to grasp. I also think the book was a little too long, some things were unnecessarily drawn out. I think the point of giving up worldy things was taken a bit too literal. You do not have to be a pauper living on the street wearing rags to know God on the most intimate levels.I gave the book 3 stars because I loved where the story was going, I loved the scenery, and the house, and I loved Rick's character. however I could not give the book more than 3 stars because Archie's character was under developed, the mother was barely a factor, other than dying, and the father had no depth of character. I think I expected more from the character development and I definitely expected more from Micah. It was unbelievable how dense he was even with certain truths staring him in the face! I find it hard to really enjoy a book when I am increasingly irritated by the characters lack of common sense. I needed more character depth from the supporting cast and less confused ramblings & verbiage from the main character. less
