Just Finished:

Good read, slow going but worth it in the end. Very endearing.
ROOM
Told from the perspective of 5 year old "Jack", ROOM is a very heartwrenching tale of a little boy and his mother who are trapped in "ROOM". Jack's mother was abducted by "Old Nick" at 19 years old and was made to live in an old shack behind Nick's house, isolated from the rest of the world. While he manages to impregnante her and keep her hidden from everyone including his own family, he keeps her alive by bringing her the basic and bare necessities of life for her and her son. One day she realizes she's had enough and plans the Great Escape, relying solely on Jack to carry the plan through. This book is hard to read at times because of the graphic content. It was very good, a short read that took me maybe two days to get through. I couldn't put it down. ROOM will stay with me for a long time.
