Room by Emma Donoghue (#8, Fiction)

I liked this book.  It comes at a super messed up topic with a fresh and interesting take.  I'm not a huge fan of having the child as the narrator, but you get use to it and it's not as bad as it could be. I liked how the author was able to take this completely awful subject of kidnapping and rape and have it be the basis of the book, but never really talk about it.  This isn't a book about kidnapping, it's a book about the relationship between a mother and a child and how they deal with joining, or rejoining society after years of only having each other. 

3.5/5
