Room - Emma Donoghue
23:45I'm getting really bad at keeping up with these at the moment. This week for sure has been one big emotional rollercoaster, it still is infact, never-ending it seems, but I'm learning to keep it inside me, only letting myself have the excuse of crying at the sad parts of Desperate Housewives and things like that! It's during this time that I read about 40% of this book, it was a great escapism into someone else's world and their dramas and troubles and I could leave mine behind for a little bit.
Summary: It's Jack's birthday, and he's excited about turning five. Jack lives with his Ma in Room, which has a locked door and a skylight, and measures 11 feet by 11 feet. He loves watching TV, and the cartoon characters he calls friends, but he knows that nothing he sees on screen is truly real - only him, Ma and the things in Room. Until the day Ma admits that there's a world outside . . . Told in Jack's voice, Room is the story of a mother and son whose love lets them survive the impossible. (Goodreads)
