I read Room this weekend; I look forward to discussing this in our book club! Based loosely on the Elisabeth Fritzl case, and written in the voice of five-year-old Jack, it is a gripping look at life held in the captivity of a mad man. It is not gruesome or heavy on the horrors they lived through, but fascinating in that it is written from the viewpoint of a boy, born in room, and a mother who loved him dearly.
