I haven't done a book review in quite some time, so now would be good. I recently finished "Room: A Novel". This book is definitely one of my favorites. I simply loved it, I just couldn't put it down! Except in rehearsal. Yeah, I couldn't ever read in rehearsal. But here's the basic plot:
To five-year-old Jack, Room is the entire world. It is where he was born and grew up; it's where he lives with his Ma as they learn and read and eat and sleep and play. At night, his Ma shuts him safely in the wardrobe, where he is meant to be asleep when Old Nick visits. Room is home to Jack, but to Ma, it is the prison where Old Nick has held her captive for seven years. Through determination, ingenuity, and fierce motherly love, Ma has created a life for Jack. But she knows it's not enough...not for her or for him. She devises a bold escape plan, one that relies on her young son's bravery and a lot of luck. What she does not realize is just how unprepared she is for the plan to actually work. Told entirely in the language of the energetic, pragmatic five-year-old Jack, Room is a celebration of resilience and the limitless bond between parent and child, a brilliantly executed novel about what it means to journey from one world to another.
Pfft, no I didn't write that, Amazon did! Duh. So, I would say that this book is kind of slow to start. They go through their daily routine for the first part, which is a little boring if you ask me. It does pick up though! This is where the fun begins, my friends. I'd suggest this book to pretty much anyone. I hope you like it!
Just Trust Me..
