Room is a disturbing and gripping story of a woman held captive in an
11 by 11 foot room and must raise her 5 year-old son Jack with little to no
resources or outside help. Told from the point of view of Jack, this story
reads like a feasible truth that woman experience all across the planet by the
hands of their captures.
This heart-stopping story is proof positive of the
definition of what it is to be a mother. Jack is left to explore the world
through the limited understanding of the world through his mothers eyes and is
oblivious to what is happening around him. He doesn’t question what he is
missing, but instead accepts what his mother shares, because the bond between
mother and child is strong.
Excellent must read for everyone-a beautiful exploration of
empathy and triumphant resolve of the human spirit that should be a required
read. Emma Donoghue has gripped the heart strings and presents a unique way of
showing the beauty in even some of the worst situations.
