01 - Room, By Emma Donoghue, Harper Collins, 321 pages, 2010
WHY I PICKED IT: It was selected by my Book Club
ELAPSED TIME: 8 days
RATING: Meh
An curious premise... The story of a child who is born in a room where his Mom is being held captive, kidnapped 7 years earlier. The first 100 pages of the book drags, his experience in Room is ... painful to read. His experience of escaping, and trying to integrate into Outside is very well written, but not great. I didn't enjoy this story.
This blog is a simple review of every book that I read... For all books I’ll tell you why I picked it, how long it took me to read it, and give it a rating (burn it, not good, meh, good, very good, and required reading). I ask (encourage?) all readers of my blog to post their thoughts of any of the books in my comments :). Thanks!
