Room - Emma Donoghue

Room - Emma Donaghue (2010)

Currently on bestseller lists, I waited patiently for this book to come to me via the library. Have I succumbed to buying any this year, well I must admit to having bought one that was cheap on sale. So I will keep you all up to date on how many I buy this year.

Room is an interesting premise. Wee Jack is five, and lives with his mother in Room. Room is the only place they are able to go, as Jacks mum had been abducted by a perv several years earlier, and they are trapped in a shed with no chance of escape.

How they cope living in a single space, with little stimulation makes for an interesting read, and I enjoyed the narrative, which could easily have become annoying.

4/5
