ROOM

Room by Emma Donoghue - This is one of those books you want to read in one go. It's a very different story, and without giving it away, I'll say that it's about a young woman and her son who live in Room. The boy tells the story, and it's very visceral as well as very visual. Once you've gotten into it a bit, go online to the Room website, where you'll see Room as it's meant to be laid out. I didn't do this until after I'd read the book, and my visualization of Room was slightly different than that of actual Room. All at once Room is safe and dangerous, and it can boggle the mind to understand how and why this is so, which is what makes this such a fascinating read.
