Room


I loved this book! I know it isn't on my book list, but I wanted to mention it here because it is one of the best novels I have read in a long time. I downloaded a sample of the book to my Kindle, and I was so intrigued, I needed to get the rest of the book as soon as possible! It did not disappoint.
The plot centers around a five-year-old boy (the narrator, incidentally) and his Ma. They are alone in a room, and apparently they don't leave the room. Ever. Want to know why? I know! Read the book! It was interesting, engaging, at times chilling, and even though I didn't think it could, left me feeling good about life.
No one told me to say this, either. I just loved the book that much, and I hope you do, too.
