Ok, I'm entitled to my opinions and I'd just like to say that I hated this "New York Times Best Seller" book. It's not that it was horribly written, it's just that the little boy in it that narrates the entire story did nothing but piss me off for basically the entire book.
To give you a little insight without destroying the book for you, the book is about a woman who was abducted when she was about nineteen and then kept in a shed that her kidnapper turned into a sort of apartment that was her prison. She later gets pregnant and gives birth to the narrator, Jack, right there in the shed. When the book starts out, Jack is five and he tells everything from his eyes. Now, have you ever heard a fucking five year old talk? They don't make a damn bit of sense as is. This entire fucking book is written from a five year old who's been raised in a SHED's perspective. Later on, his mother devises an escape plan and it works and they are rescued and put into a sort of mental hospital.
The reason I hated this book is because Jack never wanted to leave "Room" and hates the outside world and never respects really anything his mother says to him. He's a pain in the ass, he's clingy and he's just downright stupid.
The whole story is told from that damn child's perspective.
This is why I hated this story.
