Room by Emma Donoghue. 321 pages.
This was a very very interesting book to read. This story was written in the perspective of a 5 year old boy named Jack. To him, "room" is his whole world. He has never been outside and thinks that nothing else really exists beyond the doors of the room except for outer space. He was born in the room and has never been past the walls of the room. His entire life has only been in the room.
To his mother, the room was a prison where she has been help kidnaped for 7 years.
The story of the mothers protective and devoted love to her son is told in a really interesting perspective (of a 5 year old).
As the story went on, I became pretty attached to jack as a character.
A pretty good read and I would give it a pass! : ) ...even though I prefer a littlemmore suspenseful books.
But it's not a story you come by very often. Really unique.
