About my book #1: Room

The first book I read in Best Sellers was Room. It was recommended by a classmate and she let me borrow the paperback version. Basically the story is about a young boy who grew up in captivity with his mom in a fenced in shed in their captors backyard. Basically all he knows is "the room" hence the title, "Room". Finally on his birthday his mom tries to tell himk the truth...that there is more to the world then just their little room. The main character Jack, the little boy is very confused on tring to decipher what is real and what is not real. Ae the fancy toys he sees on tv, real? Are other people, including other little kids, real? Jack can't wrap his head around it. But when he sees his mothers desperate longing to get out of their little "home" the only option jack knows exists is to be his Ma's hero and rescue her from her abusing captores prison.
    This was a very interesting read, told from a 5 year old perspective. It teaces you to be grateful for your freedom and how lovely a mother-son relationship when you love that person whole-heartedly and care for them, and do the best you can to make them happy, depite every circumstance. This is a very good book al l though it is not one of my favorites. It brings you back to the chilling truth about so many young men and women sequested from their homes by kidnappers. I would recommend this bok, it gave me a chance to reflect and thats what a good book needs.
