Room: A Novel

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. 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.

The writing style was hard to read at first. But after awhile i couldn't put it down. I would like to rank it somewhere between liked it and really liked it.

What an interesting take on this idea. I found Jack's combination of vocabulary and naivete very interesting.

Great insight as to how a 5 year old who had not been exposed to the greater world might think and react to it.

Fucking, fabulous book. My all time favourite book. The movie was a terrible representation of the characters struggle with themselves and trust in others.
