Ellie's Review
This was a crazy, dark book I was utterly hooked on. Donaghue did a wonderful job of drawing me into the story and actually causing me stress when the characters were in the most critical times and were themselves stressed.

Book Summary
To five-year-old Jack, Room is the entire world. It is where he was born and grew up; it's where he lives with his Ma as they learn and read and eat and sleep and play. At night, his Ma shuts him safely in the wardrobe, where he is meant to be asleep when Old Nick visits.
