Room caught me by surprise. The narrator is a 5-year old boy, Jack, who lives in a room with his ‘Ma’. Jack does not know the world outside and he thinks that all that happens outside of the room is the reality on TV.
This novel is an example of a very sad and difficult subject treated in a lighter way and from a completely different perspective. Jack made me laugh and melted my heart with the things he said and the way his reasoning worked.
I could not put the book down. I wanted to know the next thing in the story but at the same time I wanted to slowly enjoy the ingenious things Jack had to say all the time.
