Room Book Review

    5 year old, Jack has lived his entire life in Room and   it's the only place he knows.  Jack loves Room but to his Ma, it's a prison where she has been held captive for   7 years . Ma tries her best to create a loving life for Jack it   this small confining environment but it's not enough for her.  When she comes up with a plan to escape that relies on Jack, she doesn't realize how unprepared her and Jack are for the real world.

 The thing I really loved   about this book was that it was told from a perspective of a 5 year old boy who doesn't know anything about the   real world. He think everything he sees on the T.V is made up and that outside of Room there is just space.  It's really interesting, how    he accepts that there  actually is a world outside of Room and it's not that bad. It's also interesting to see how Jack interacts with people from the outside world after only being his mom for his whole life.

 Another thing I find interesting, is how people react to what happened to Jack and his mom, how some people give them gifts and send them money, while others send them pieces of feces. I really liked when Jack's   mom, told the  talk show host off  for asking    stupid  questions.

 This book was at times funny but for the   most part it was very serious and raw and it really makes you think about what it would be like to live  like that.  I don't  think I've ever  read a  novel that is told  in the perspective of a child  but the book is  an adult novel and the narration really  makes the book special

 Overall, I really enjoyed this book   and I gave it a  4/5 stars on Goodreads
