It was wearing to read at the beginning due to Jack's narrative but I persevered and I'm glad I did. It was a kind of happy sad book, or hapad (that's a word sandwich). (  ) theBookDevourer211 | Jan 27, 2023 |  Para Jack, un niño de cinco años, la Habitación es el mundo entero, el lugar donde nació, donde come, juega y aprende. Por la noche, Mamá lo pone a dormir en el Armario, por si viene el Viejo Nick… Para su madre, la Habitación es el cubículo donde lleva siete años encerrada. Con gran tesón e ingenio, ha creado en ese reducido espacio una vida para su hijo, y su amor por él es lo único que le permite soportar lo insoportable. Pero la curiosidad de uno crece a la par que la desesperación de la otra. Sólo queda urdir la huida, un plan más arriesgado de lo que ambos puedan imaginar. Natt90 | Jan 27, 2023 | A psychological crime drama following the imprisonment of a kidnapped woman and her son, told through the five-year-old son's eyes. This book is fairly well-known and has generally positive sentiments around it, but upon reading it I think this stems from the story being told and the impact that has. Telling the story through a five-year-old's perspective is both crucial to how this story is told and the impact it's meant to have, while also being a bit annoying and gimmicky in areas. I had a difficult time falling into a reading rhythm in the beginning because of the structuring in the writing and the young perspective, but once the realness of the dark situation the mother and son are in is presented to the child it becomes much easier to get wrapped up into the story and lessen some of the childish, gimmicky notes in the set-up. If you can get past the set-up of the novel then the story ends up being enjoyable and an interesting reflective read, to think about the effects that being raised in strict captivity would have on a person. (  ) WhiteRaven.17 | Jan 21, 2023 | A page-turner, I read it in two days. Everything is told from the kids perspective.... Seeing the world through his eyes was incredibly interesting. Terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. (  ) enlasnubess | Jan 13, 2023 | It took me a short while to get used to Jack's narrative style but once I was, I loved the story. The way the author used Jack's voice to describe what the world appeared to be to him, an outsider, was fantastic. A great way to use the Sociological Eye, I thought. I was reduced to tears several times - either for happy or sad or just by the powerful emotions the words pulled from me. I think part of it was that I'm a very emotional person but part of it was that I kept imagining my young son in Jack's place. Room was a great, and at times difficult, read. I highly recommend it.

Room is disturbing, thrilling, and emotionally compelling. Emma Donoghue has produced a novel that is sure to stay in the minds of readers for years to come. This is a truly memorable novel, one that can be read through myriad lenses — psychological, sociological, political. It presents an utterly unique way to talk about love, all the while giving us a fresh, expansive eye on the world in which we live. the book’s second half is less effective than its first. Perhaps this is inevitable given the changed circumstances of the protagonists. The walls that enclosed them also intensified their drama.  Wrenching, as befits the grim subject matter, but also tender, touching and at times unexpectedly funny. Donoghue's great strength -- apart from her storytelling gift -- is her emotional intelligence. We get just enough information to feel uncomfortable -- and therefore, to question our assumptions about how family life ought to be; and to know that life will always be an unequal struggle.

Narrator Jack and his mother, who was kidnapped seven years earlier when she was a 19-year-old college student, celebrate his fifth birthday. They live in a tiny, 11-foot-square soundproofed cell in a converted shed in the kidnapper's yard. The sociopath, whom Jack has dubbed Old Nick, visits at night, grudgingly doling out food and supplies. But Ma, as Jack calls her, proves to be resilient and resourceful--and attempts a nail-biting escape. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
