The Living Room by Robert Whitlow Book Review

First, let me say, that I have very much enjoyed Robert Whitlow as an author of Legal Thrillers.  "The Living Room" was different from his other books and I did not like it very much.  I was bored from the start and could never really get into the story.  It was slow going. It was not about legal matters per say.  It just centered around a legal secretary by the name of Amy who had dreams.  In her dreams she traveled to a special place she called the Living Room. It was there that she would receive inspiration for her novels. But then, her dreams took on a life of their own.  They begin to happen in real life. They affect the people around her. She wanted to stay home and only be a writer but finances forced her to go back to work.

When Amy takes a major case at her firm she has a hard time juggling her family, career, and that desire to be a full time author of fiction books. I suppose that women who do this all the time...juggle family and careers would be able to relate very well. Each area of her life has its own challenges. Eventually this various worlds collide and she learns some to trust and hear God.  There are spiritual principles we can all learn from in the book.

I do believe that God speaks through dreams but not all dreams are from God.

Even so, I was just not drawn into this book like the author's other books.  I just can't quite put my finger of what it is, but I will read the next book he puts out.

I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze book review bloggers program.  I was not required to write a positive review.  The opinions I have expressed are my own.
