The Time Chamber Review

The Time Chamber
I have heard about the craze of these adult coloring books and was intrigued by them and wanted to get my hands on one. I have never had an adult coloring book and wanted to see what all the hype was about. When I received the book I began to flip through all the beautifully drawn pictures. Every page is filed with gorgeous detailed pictures. And it’s not just your average coloring book; this coloring book has a story that goes along with it. Not every page has words on it, only a few, but nevertheless, it still follows a little red headed fairy that journey’s out to the unknown.
I thought it was very cute to see a story sort of progressing throughout the book and added a cute touch, so it wasn’t just pictures on a page.  I had read many people that had tried these coloring books said it helped relieve their stress. In some ways I can see that, but I have to be honest and say I thought it induced stress for me. Each picture is very detailed and requires immense amounts of patience to neatly color with in the lines. I found myself stressing about staying with in the lines and wanting to quickly get it done. I was also coloring the same thing repeatedly and it became annoying and I would go as fast as I could to get every single leaf colored! So I will say that you will not finish a page in ten minutes, it will take you a considerable amount of time to finish because the amount of detail on each page.
But I do think this is an excellent gift idea for someone that likes to be creative and color and has more patience then me. If you have the time to sit down for a couple hours and color, good for you. But as for me I probably won’t purchase another adult coloring book. Not that it’s a stupid or bad idea. It’s just not for me.

I received this book from Blogging for Books.
