Book Review - 'Room' by Emma Donoghue

Every time I read a great book, I am so excited to share it with everyone I know. I probably have bought a million books over the course of my life, but I have very few in my collection because I'm constantly lending them out and then forgetting to get them back. This book will seriously blow your mind. I guarantee they'll make a movie about it at some point because its just that good. I absolutely fell in love with Jack, the narrator, who is a 5-year-old boy completely eluded by his own mother to think that his entire world is in one 11x11 foot tool shed that he refers to as "room". This book makes me wonder what kind of terrible situations exist just like this one all over the world. How many "rooms" are out there that we walk past day after day and never know are there - right under our noses. If you've read it, give me your thoughts or opinions on the book. I actually ended up extremely irritated with Jack towards the end of the book, and I then felt so guilty that I felt that way. Just read it...you'll see what I mean.

Below is the official book synopsis.

To five-year-old-Jack, Room is the world....
It's where he was born, it's where he and his Ma eat and sleep and play and learn. There are endless wonders that let loose Jack's imagination-the snake under Bed that he constructs out of eggshells, the imaginary world projected through the TV, the coziness of Wardrobe beneath Ma's clothes, where she tucks him in safely at night, in case Old Nick comes.
Room is home to Jack, but to Ma, it's the prison where she's been held since she was nineteen-for seven long years. Through her fierce love for her son, she has created a life for him in that eleven-by-eleven-foot space. But Jack's curiosity is building alongside her own desperation—and she knows that Room cannot contain either indefinitely....
Told in the inventive, funny, and poignant voice of Jack, Room is a celebration of resilience-and a powerful story of a mother and son whose love lets them survive the impossible.
