The Escape Book: Can you escape this book?: 1 (Escape Book Series)

Product Information

Alexander is an author of scary stories, and this one did not disappoint. Of course, it was at a YA level and not adult, so it couldn't be too scary. It did have me holding the book pretty tight at some scenes, though. The vividness of the descriptions helped with that. I cannot wait to read her next book "Triumph". And wonder how she will get Betty "around" and out. And how Harrison's health and Arthur's career is going too. Full of suspense and menace, Escape Room is one of the best escape room books for thrill and mystery lovers. Escape Room revolves around mental illness, revenge, friendship, and self-discovery. The book’s premise starts as four friends, Cleo, Alissa, Miles, and Sky, search for a Friday night activity. The four will stumble across an escape room and sign up for the adventure. While the players have info that they can leave the room anytime, you may find out the game master has no intention of releasing the characters. The story has enough tension and twists that will leave a reader guessing until almost the end of the book. If you are looking for a short and sweet escape room book, then be sure to grab Escape Room. It's all anyone talks about, and it's all Cody dreams about. It's the biggest adventure park in the world, and it's more than mere rides and rollercoasters: At ESCAPE, you can do anything you want, be anyone you want, and there are no adults to tell you no.

Carolyn's story is simply amazing. The only thing that could make it better is some tighter editing. For example, at least the fact that the FLDS has a major presence in the local police force (thus making it hard to escape), is mentioned several times. Have a little faith that a reader can read it once and retain it. Dat gezegd hebbende, vond ik ook in dit boek de schrijfstijl weer heerlijk vlot en beeldend. K.R. Alexander heeft wederom een geweldige fantasie wereld geschapen met deze keer scifi elementen.As an adult I lived in St. George for three years between 2003 and 2006. I saw polygamists at Wal-Mart every time I went there. I was disturbed by my own reaction to them. Having lived all over the U.S. I was aware of how limited the perspective of people who stayed in one place their whole lives can be. Yet I still looked at them as "lesser" individuals. Because I was so disturbed by my own inner hateful response to this people, I decided to learn more about them. I met a woman who had written a book and was actively helping girls escape. She was selling her books at a booth at the county fair. She was putting her life on the line by speaking out and I was impressed. Het verhaal is geschreven vanuit Cody, en zijn emoties en gevoelens komen duidelijk over. Een tiener die geen goed zelfbeeld heeft, ruziënde ouders thuis en zichzelf afvraagt waar hij thuis hoort in de wereld.

Escape or Die: True stories of heroic escape in the Second Escape or Die: True stories of heroic escape in the Second

Jessop also does a great job making it crystal clear how a grown woman could put up with all this. She shows with example after example how children are indoctrinated into believing this is all normal, then with chilling detail, shows how impossible it is for a woman to leave FLDS. That she had a sense of self, and a sense that this was all terribly wrong, is only a small indication of what a strong woman she is. Ms. Jessop's depiction of the FLDS faith community is one utterly devoid of love and dominated by members seeking to have power over one another in the most jaw-dropping, vicious, abusive means imaginable. Leaders dissolved families, abruptly drove some children out to fend for themselves and sexually abused others, created a fear-based culture with the threat of whimsical, eternal excommunications, and incrementally cut off members from the outside world. Some men ruled their families selfishly and abusively, extracting obedience to cruelty and exploitation based on the fear that they would not select the rebellious to rule with them in the after-life--a tenant of Mormon theology. Wives and children eked out their survival in a cutthroat environment they helped create, jostling for position and advantage within their families and bullying whomever they could. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Where Moitessier needs a bespoke sailboat, and plenty of supplies, to make his escape from the unbearableness of the day-to-day, Tomas Espedal needs only to step outside the door, decide whether to turn left or right, and just keep walking. This existentially narked Norwegian feels imprisoned by his limited world – his flat, the local bar where he drinks and then drinks some more. When this gets too much for him, he walks. But he refuses to wear hiking gear, preferring a suit. He loves to chain smoke as he goes, so as to annoy the more conservative ramblers. This is a deep and hilarious book about small truancies. You hear about these things,but wonder to yourself if it's really true,and then put it out of your mind. After reading this book I not only belive these things are truly happening,but while reading it,I wanted to jump up and try to get all of those women out of that religion!! LOL Of course,I'm just an itty bitty woman that lives in an itty bitty town in Wisconsin,so not much I can do for these women.I just thank God that America's Most Wanted was able to "capture" the guy that became the Leader of this so called religion. A religion that belives that the Men are the rulers,Women are to be nothing more than slaves,and do as they are told,and the wife can be of any age,,starting at age 12,the younger the better,in fact. She's 12 yrs old? That's great! The thought is the younger they are the more gullible and naive they will be? And will do anything?? And of course,not question it. The important issue of sex in these marriages is not something I think God had in mind. To procreate,yes,but to use it against another "wife" in a polygamist marriage is/was disgusting to me. I know these woman,and men,as well,are brought up in this religion and know no better,but really after a time one would think that more of them would realize what kind of horse---- are they living in/with? I'm so glad that the author of this book,finally started get some sense into your noggin',and got the good sense to GET OUT! Although,the act of just getting herself out was one thing,but getting her 8 children out as well,and with one that was ill to boot,was an act of God in and of itself. I just hope her older daughter...will one day see the light as her Mother did. A very good read. Here's the link at America's Most Wanted regarding "Warren Steed Jeffs"-the Leader,who may not have started all this,but became more bold than all the other leaders and that is what became the undoing of him and hopefuly most of the "cult" that he tried so hard to control.

The Escape Book Volume 1 by Ivan Tapia | Waterstones

Cody droomt ervan om naar de opening van Escape te gaan, het nieuwste en spannendste attractiepark ter wereld. Helaas is dat alleen weggelegd voor de rijke en coole kinderen, en daar hoort Cody niet bij. Als er een paar kaarten worden verloot, ontvangt hij tot zijn grote verbazing een van die uitnodigingen.Carolyn Jessop enjoyed some advantages other FLDS women were denied, increasing her ability to escape. She was college educated and worked at various times away from the FLDS compound, giving her exposure to thoughts and people outside of the control of her FLDS leaders. Even then, her leaving was miraculous. Want hoe gaaf is een pretpark waarin je letterlijk onderdeel kunt zijn van een verhaal en attracties kunt bezoeken waarin het gevaar heel dichtbij komt. With her cognition of identity and purpose continually assaulted for manipulation, I am in awe of her survival skills and her ultimate escape and professions. My empathy is endless because it comes close to home for me. NOT within religion but in context to cultural expectation and "allowing" for skills and employment as a girl- that is extremely difficult to bridge. DO I know it. The Adventure of the London Waterworks played like a Choose Your Own Adventure, with a story that branched based on my choices. Most of the decision points hinged on puzzles that could bring me closer to success if solved correctly, or lead me astray otherwise. Though there were multiple endings, the story mostly followed a linear route with diversions that provided additional clues—or sometimes, after incorrect solutions, false leads. Carolyn Jessop tells the story of her life growing up in the FLDS in a family that had been involved and deeply faithful for many generations. She tells of the pain polygamy caused for her mother and the abuse she and her sisters endured as a result. She tells of being married off to a 50 year old man at the age of 18 and the rape and mental abuse she endured by him and his family, as well as feeliing helpless to protect the 8 children she would go on to be forced to have with him (3 pregnancies of which almost killed her, one child of which struggled with cancer of the spine). At one point, Jessop's husband puts her in direct harm of death and brags about it to anyone who will listen. So disgusting. Over 17 years of marriage, Jessop beings to see things clearly and question her once blind devotion to the authority of her faith. The final straw comes, when Warren Jeffs, now serving a prison sentence for actions having to do with accusations of incestual rape and the marrying off of underage girls, becomes the prophet of the church and begins to pull children out of school, burn books, and preach the need for blood atonement (the cutting of throats). He pulls apart families, and begins marrying off younger and younger girls to older and older men, banishing under age men from the faith. Carolyn finally fears for her children enough to escape and become the first woman in history to win full custody of her children, against a powerful man of the FLDS faith. Truelly an amazing women.
