**WE RECEIVED A FREE COPY OF THIS BOOK IN EXCHANGE FOR THE FOLLOWING HONEST REVIEW**

Let me start this review by saying that I stepped completely out of my comfort zone for this one, but I read it with an open mind. Before I touch on the content I want to note that Brian C. Copper's writing style is one that reminds me why I am so obsessed with reading.  Everything flowed beautifully and was easy to follow.  As the blurb states, this book follows the story of Max and David, but throughout additional characters are introduced, so that the readers can get a better understanding of David's life....and the "room".  David is a unique individual.  I felt like the confidence he had in his sexuality, and his keen ability to experiment with boundaries made him the perfect main character.  

Now, on to the content....

I'm not really sure how to articulate my take of The Room.  I guess that the only thing that I need to say is that although, for me, some of the content came across as cringe-worthy and brutal I found myself needing to know what would happen next.  Explicit homosexual encounters may not get me all hot and bothered, but I can confidently say that for those who prefer that type of thing this book will not disappoint.
