Room a novel

This fricked me up

I found this book challenging in a number of ways. The empathy I felt for both the narrator and his victim mother left me emotionally rung out through most of the book. As observed by others, the author often attributed to the 5 year old narrator more adult comprehension about his circumstances. I really did like the book and have recommended to many people.

Fantastic book. It perfectly captures the voice of a confused five-year old who's just had his world turned inside out. The chapter ‘Dying' was so good I had to stop reading the book for the night, as I knew there would be nothing that could top it.
