Room by Emma Donoghue

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This was a very disturbing but interesting book about a woman who was abducted at age 19 and kept in a shed in her abuser's backyard. The story is told through the voice of her five year old son who was born in the shed and has never seen the "outside".



You wouldn't think a story that takes place in a single room could be very exciting but I enjoyed reading this after I got used the 5 year old narrator. I did feel that the book went on a little too long and could have been wrapped up sooner, but it definitely is worth reading.
