Book Overview

The award-winning bestseller that became one of the most talked about and memorable novels of the decade, Room is utterly gripping...a heart-stopping novel (San Francisco Chronicle). Held captive for years in a small shed, a woman and her precocious young son finally gain their freedom, and the boy experiences the outside world for the first time. To five-year-old-Jack, Room is the world. . . . It's where he was born, it's where he and his Ma eat and sleep and play and learn. At night, his Ma shuts him safely in the wardrobe, where he is meant to be asleep when Old Nick visits. Room is home to Jack, but to Ma it's the prison where she has been held for seven years. Through her fierce love for her son, she has created a life for him in this eleven-by-eleven-foot space. But with Jack's curiosity building alongside her own desperation, she knows that Room cannot contain either much longer. Room is a tale at once shocking, riveting, exhilarating -- a story of unconquerable love in harrowing circumstances, and of the diamond-hard bond between a mother and her child.

I just couldn't

This was recommended to me by my sister. 25 pages in and I just couldn't handle the writing style and having it told in a child's voice. Awful.

Creative, emotional, and overall amazing book!

Honestly, I couldn’t put this book down! The perspective that you read it in makes it such an amazing and interesting book. I can’t really put into words how much I absolutely loved this book! I had seen the movie and loved it and had to read the book when I discovered it was one, and it was even better as a book!

Eh.

It’s quite an interesting story but I lost interest at the end. It seemed a bit boring but was still a good read.

Was a facinating read

This book will stick with you long after you read it. The perspective was unique and it stayed interesting the whole time. I very much enjoyed it.

This book was fascinating. I read it straight through...

This book was fascinating. I read it straight through and immediately started recommending it. It really made me think about what a mother would do for her children to keep them safe. Loved every second of it
