A review by mariaellabetos
Room by Emma Donoghue

4.0

Bed. TV. Duvet. Door. Skylight. Rug. Bath. Jeep. Remote. Wardrobe. Room.

In a perspective of a five-year old who was born in a 11 x 11 feet room, that little space is his own world and not very much different from ours. He has all the love of his Ma, he has his dreams of being sucked into TV, being an alien in outer space with Megatron and mega lazer blasters, and his nightmares of Old Nick sleeping beside his Ma while overhearing creaking sounds of more than a hundred times.

He has his little fantasy as a result of all the lies, and unlying them at once made his head ache. Dying made his heart beat fast, and escaping from his nightmare is the greatest feat of his life.

Mirrored from Flitz Case in Austria, this is one weird novel; so weird that this is inspired from a true story.
