What it's about:
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.

My Thoughts on this book:
For me, this book was another fast reader. Room, kept me interested and wanting to read more. As the description says, it is told from the young boy perspective. I think this book is well worth reading. Although this is not a true story, it still gives a lot of insight to what someone would go through both during an abduction, captivity, and the healing process. I recommend this book.
