Room – Emma Donoghue



♥♥♥♥♥

Reading this book is truly one of the best things I could’ve done this year, it was one of those books where you would stop reading, just to reread or even just sit and take it all in.

It follows Jack a 5-year-old boy who was born in an 11 by 11 foot room where his mother has been held captive for the past 7 years. Jack and Ma has a very special relationship, and she tried her best to make him believe that the way they were living was normal, so he wouldn’t miss the outside. After he turned 5, she came up with a plan to help them escape from their prison.

The way Donoghue paints the world through Jack’s eyes is breath-taking, from the way he loves everything in Room, and finds them fascinating and interesting, to his fear when they entered the outside space.

This is one of those books that I know is going to be haunting me for a while, and I can’t wait to see the movie, to see if they did the book justice.
