The award-winning bestseller that became one of the most talked about and memorable novels of the decade, Room is "utterly gripping...a heart-stopping novel" (San Francisco Chronicle). Held captive for years in a small shed, a woman and her precocious young son finally gain their freedom, and the boy experiences the outside world for the first time.

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. 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's the prison where she has been held for seven years. Through her fierce love for her son, she has created a life for him in this eleven-by-eleven-foot space. But with Jack's curiosity building alongside her own desperation, she knows that Room cannot contain either much longer.

Room is a tale at once shocking, riveting, exhilarating — a story of unconquerable love in harrowing circumstances, and of the diamond-hard bond between a mother and her child. Fiction de genre Fiction littéraire Psychologique Thrillers domestiques Thrillers et romans à suspense

I watched the movie some time ago so when I saw this version I wanted to see how it compared. I think this is better. I think being able to hear Jack's thoughts made a major difference.

Better than the movie

It was definitely not something I am used to. I don't think I have ever listened to a book read by a child. I don't think I would do it again, but I am glad I did do it this once.

The story was good. Seemed well researched and although it was sad and dark it was definitely believable.

4.5 Stars. Another great read\listen

Having this story told by a 5 year old was unique, and took me a little bit to get my head around. Initially, I also expected a bit more suspense whereas this was definately a psychological drama.

I particularly enjoyed the second half of the book, and the child development and mental health aspects of this story (more than the captivity plot itself). This may be because I wasn't a fan of the female lead and may have been influenced by the narration.

Overall, kudos to the author for a well researched book, which kept a continuous pace, and made me think. I think I'll remember Jack for a while.
