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.
Room is home to Jack, but to Ma, it is the prison where Old Nick has held her captive for seven years. Through determination, ingenuity, and fierce motherly love, Ma has created a life for Jack. But she knows it's not enough...not for her or for him. She devises a bold escape plan, one that relies on her young son's bravery and a lot of luck. What she does not realize is just how unprepared she is for the plan to actually work.

Opinion
Room tells a moving story about a mother who does her best to help her son to the environment where he was born. You can feel completely the feelings of Jack, a child who with his innocence learns the reality of the world in a very different way. This story allows you to feel completely what it’s to live a life is captivity and how a mother does her best to protect her children
Emma Donoghue did an excellent job writing this story with the perspective of a boy of only 5 years old and it is one of his works that has left me fascinated. Nominated for a Booker prize and adapted in 2015 in a film directed by Lenny Abrahamson with the same
name.
Here is some critics about this book
‘As a life-affirming fable of parent-child love, and an antidote to the prurience of so much crime fiction, it's a triumph, and deserves to be a hit.’ – Daily Telegraph
‘Remarkable… heartrending… Both gripping and poignant, it’s a tribute to human resourcefulness and resilience and extremity, and a stirring portrait of a mother’s devotion.’ – Toronto Star
‘The story is told with unsurpassed panache. … Room will certainly be much garlanded, and it will deserve every prize it gets. Fantastic.’ –Readers Digest
