ROOM

I read this today in one sitting. I couldn't put it down...literally. I loved this little five-year-old boy and Ms. Donoghue did an amazing job telling the story entirely from his perspective. This little boy only knows his Room because he and his mother are being held captive there...but he doesn't know anything is wrong, he just knows he lives in Room, sleeps in Wardrobe, and eats at Table. The story of the mother and son is beautiful, even though it's sad. Being with him as he learned and processed everything that happened was the best part for me....it was rather eye-opening. I gave this book 4 stars.
