Room by Emma DonoghueMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the first novel that I am reading till completion of a foreign author. I think I was able to read it mainly because of the language. The book is narrated entirely from a 5 year olds perspective and because of the same reason the language was very simple. I never had to go and look up even a single word.
The main reason for me to read this novel is because of the movie. I have never read the book first before watching the movie. I wanted to do that one time. So next stop is to find a theater where they still show the movie.
The novel is completely interesting. Ma's just ma , her actual name is just the other name for jack. And he wonders if men are called men then if he and ma should be called roomers. He wonders why some things in tv are real while the other things are not. Ma had a very hard time explaining him things. Infact everybody is having hard time explaining something to jack. Because jack is completely from a different world.
Such an interesting theme narrated to perfection. It is hardly about the rape-victim but it talks more about survival , love , Motherhood .
