Room - Kepler's Staff Review

Room is the place where five year old Jack was born and the only home he has ever known. His ma has been imprisoned there for seven years by Old Nick, who kidnapped her when she was a college student. Ma has devised play routines and exercises for Jack, and taught him much about the outside world through the use of a television. She realizes they must escape if Jack is ever to have a normal life, and that she must depend on his bravery to make that escape possible. What she doesn’t foresee is the incredible adjustment he will have to make to become part of the real world.

 

This is a dark and powerful love story that celebrates the strength of the human spirit, the  love of a mother and a child, and the will to go on against all odds. I highly recommend it.
