The book I have started to read is called Room by Emma Donoghue. It is about a mom who got kidnapped and has been trapped in a little, little room with her son. The boy does not know though that they are kidnapped so he just thinks that that is how life is supposed to be lived. The room they live in is only like 11 ft by 11 feet. Mom has not been in the outside world since Jack was born so Jack has never been in the outside world. They spend all day, everyday in this little room trying to live normal. They don't have much to eat or do but they always rely on Old Nick to hopefully provide for them. Old Nick is the guy who has Mom and Jack trapped in this room. For Jack, Old Nick is just a normal guy who comes home every night and does things to Mom while he is put in Wardrobe so that he doesn't see anything. Everything sounds so illogical but it is how they really live. It's a great mystery of what you think is going to happen next. So far I think this is one of my top readings.
The main character in the story is a little boy Jack, and the mom. Jack is a boy who barley turned 6. He was born in the little room, which is the setting of the story. Every night, Jack is put in Wardrobe when Old Nick comes back. Jack never asks himself why he sleeps there; he just listens to his mother. For Jack, the room is the only world he knows; but for mom, Room is a nightmare prison but she tries to cover it up just to give her son a normal view of life. They both have totally different perspectives of Room. In which for them, they both try to live it normal.
