A review by bluewitch
Room by Emma Donoghue

5.0

I rented the movie based on the book on a whim and immediately afterward I hurried to buy the book because I couldn’t remember the last time a story made me so emotional. I devoured the book over the course of the next few days. The language Jack used does take a few minutes to get use to but it’s an easy read. The emotions hit me just as hard as they did during the film. It’s heartbreaking and sad and lovely and hopeful all at once.
