It's been too long since a book has brought me to tears. Emma Donohue holds back no punches with this book. I can't believe I waited so long to read it. And I can't believe friends originally told me that I wouldn't like it. If you're reading this for the first time, be sure to have tissues at hand. You'll need them. (  ) ennuiprayer | Jan 14, 2022 |  A book that I couldn't put down. Every detail sucked me further into the story. There were so many good details; so many things that Ma did that Jack took for granted because it had always been there, but showed to the reader an overwhelming love for her child and have him grow up as normally as possibly in their captivity. (  ) Monj | Jan 7, 2022 | Writing style is difficult to read. Not my cup of tea (  ) kakadoo202 | Jan 6, 2022 | I’m still having difficulties expressing what I liked so much about this book. It’s powerful, it’s honest, it’s raw, and yet it’s very endearing. Parts of it are like a scary movie: you can’t not watch. I will admit that it took a chapter or two to get into the style of writing. The story is emotional, the writing is honest and poignant, and I can’t say enough about it. It kept me reading late into the night and itching to read again when I woke up.

I mean the premise sounds gimmicky, or at least trying hard to draw your attention and.....it does. Jack's narration voice is kind of amazing. I love books narrated by children but not necessarily for children. The simplicity of telling this story from a 5 year old's point of view is really what makes it so entrancing. I couldn't put it down. I read it straight through. I highly recommend it. ( ) banrions | Dec 7, 2021 |
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. |
