Journal Entry 4 by Miss_Sunshine at Dubai, Dubai United Arab Emirates on Friday, December 27, 2019
This is probably the hardest review I've ever had to write and that's because this book in its entirety of 336 pages has failed in making me feel anything. ANYTHING!

If I'd enjoyed this I'd be able to gush, if I hated it I could rant but I feel absolutely nothing. NOTHING.

In theory I should love this, a woman on a double life sentance, I mean we will love a prison story but every thing about this is meh. The Mars Room is meh, the reason she is in prison is meh, her prison life is meh.

Its neither character or plot driven, the only thing driving this was my determination to finish it.

I am baffled. I can only assume its one of those really deep and meaningful books that only a small percentage of readers will ever grasp the reasoning of why the book was ever written as it has some good reviews but I'm not one of them.

Two stars filled with disappointment I'm afraid.
