Creepy and disturbing novel, that I think will stay with me for quite a while. It's very effectively told from a child's point of view; the horror of the situation was more apparent to me for not being portrayed in explicit detail. Jack's perspective makes this book interesting in a way that a first...
Overall, really great read. When you get down to it, it's a difficult and disturbing topic because, this exists. It happens and it's not make believe, like some would weirdly hope. Besides some spoiler-y tweets and progress statuses on here, I recommend reading the book. I went into this being very ...
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, Ma shuts him safely in his wardrobe, where Jack 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 fo...
Hmmm, I liked it…Although, this isn’t one of those reads that rips your heart out and at the end of it, you kind of wished it continued because you were quite ready to let the characters go. The point of view of a five year old is…interesting to say the least. It took a little getting used to Jack a...
I was a little put off when I first started reading this book, first of all the mixed reviews and two I really do not care to read about violence towards children. I was happily surprised that I was able to adjust to the narrative of a 5 year old, even though there was a few times when it was rather...
One of the most overrated books I’ve ever read. Yes, it deals with very intense issues, but it offers no insight about those issues or the psychology of the people involved in them. I won’t bother rehashing the plot; I figure everyone has the basic idea by now from other reviews. I am in agreement w...
"In the world I notice people are nearly always stressed and have no time...I don't know how persons with jobs do the jobs and all the living as well. In Room me and Ma had time for everything. I guess the time gets spread very thin like butter over all the world...so there's only a little smear of ...
THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY?This seems to be a real Marmite book (love it or loathe it, with no fence-sitting), so I'm going to mix my metaphors: I bit the bullet, to see which way the wind was blowing and was surprised to find myself sitting on the empty fence. I was very undecided about stars,...
Before starting this book, I was not exactly sure what to expect. I had heard so many things about it and all of them seemed to be good, which seemed very unlikely to me that I had heard nothing but praise about this book. When it became a monthly read for an online book group, I knew it was time ...
