Room





I am reading this book.  I am almost finished.  At first I was not sure I liked it but now I have changed my mind.  It is well worth reading.   It is about a woman who is kidnapped and placed in a room for 7 years.  She has a child when raped by her kidnapper and is raising him here making a world inside this small space for him to learn and grow in.

Sounds interesting, reminds me of the news story about the woman they found who was kidnapped as a girl. I read myself to sleep, so I tend to go with adventure and sci fi.

Sounds horrible. What do you like about it?

Thanks for your take on this one Barbara. I have had this one on my wish list, but haven't yet purchased it.

The story line kind of creeps me out. I hope it has a happy ending.

Wow. I wouldn't have gravitated towards this subject at all. You know we had that case in Antioch where the man and woman (Garrido) kidnapped the child, raised her, and she bore the man's children. Just horrible. Be sure to tell us what you eventually found compelling about the book.

Yes its a wonderful book I read this on a friends recommendation, was very wary at first having two of my own children but I felt empowered after reading it, its definitely one you cant put down, hope you like the ending.
