WOW! I've been on quite the roller coaster ride! I really thought I had figured out what was going on, and I was somewhat right, but... then I was completely wrong. And then the end... holy cow! Let me say that again... WOW!

I am sure children who were molested have heard this threat many times, "If you tell anyone about this, I'll have to kill you." Unfortunately there are too many children who have been molested and have to live with the horrible memories the rest of their lives.This story is about a man who struggles to reclaim his life and forget the haunting and fiendish recollections of abuse. As hard as he tried, Eric couldn't forget all the times Rick had abused him or all the names he was called at school and all the things that were done to him by the bullies. Even Eric's dreams were invaded by the abuse. He couldn't get any sleep and the voices kept bombarding him more and more. Freedom was what he longed for. Will Eriic get to where his mind is no longer tormented? Will he finally find rest and peace? It is my hope that you read this novel. I think everyone can learn a little something from it.

this book was somewhat different from the ones I normally read. It did pull me in quickly the writing style the author used was no nonsense, it didnt overwhelm you with flowery descriptions it was always direct and to the point. I read this in about a day, I enjoyed it. A sad story of a man's tormented past that had ruined his marriage and put him into a mental instituition for a great part of his life. The endless days of fear and dread suddenly changed when a volunteer befriends him to bring him out of his shell and introduce him the real world once more. The story is emotional and tragic and I wished the author had put more of Eric's past together at the end as it seemed things were all clicking together, I was hoping for more than what was revealed yet the author of the story may have wanted it this way.

The Lobby by Jase Rosenburg
The Book:
Eric is mentally disturbed. He can’t or doesn’t release the voices of his past. He loses everything including his family. His life is on a downward slope until he meets Kevin.
My Thoughts:
Jase has captured the world of the mentally ill. The book is a quick read, switching characters at a fast speed, one I love. Deep love to deep darkness was portrayed throughout the book.
There is meaning in the title that is revealed at the right time. I felt troubled, excited, fearful and hopeful within the pages of, “The Lobby.”
I didn’t see the ending come. I don’t shed tears over too many books, but this book I did. I had to stop and clear my eyes.
Very good read.

Definitely a first book with some problems, although I did enjoy it. I found myself wanting to read it just to get to the end to find out what happens to the protagonist, Eric, In the story. So, if you got me wanting to read to the end then it's a good book.
My problems with the book had to do with sentence structure, some character development, and some believability of the goings on in a medical facility.
I did find myself being sympathetic with all the characters and isn't that the goal of a book anyway?

The premise of this story was fairly good. However, the writing seemed very amateur and needed better editing. The story seemed to move along very quickly, but not realistically. The ending was also a bit of a letdown. Again, the idea the author had was good, but the execution needed some work.

It is an oddly written book
I read the author's note at the end of this book. It says it is the first book Rosenburg has published. As a reader, I can tell it is a first book.
The story is basically happening in a vacuum space. My mind supplies the details because there are minimal details to work with in this book.
The book reads like a first rough draft. The characters are not fleshed out enough to anchor the story. The ending leaves the reader with a head tilt and a question mark. Why subject the character to all of it? It was a struggle to make it through this one due to how the story reads.

The story was written in a vacuum space. The characters are not fleshed out enough to anchor this story. The story itself reads like a first rough draft. My mind supplied the details because the absolute bare minimum is supplied to this story. A little bit of detail would have helped this story and the pacing was odd.
