To five-year-old Jack, Room is the entire world. It is where he was born and grew up; it's where he lives with his Ma as they learn and read and eat and sleep and play. At night, his Ma shuts him safely in the wardrobe, where he is meant to be asleep when Old Nick visits.
Room is home to Jack, but to Ma, it is the prison where Old Nick has held her captive for seven years. Through determination, ingenuity, and fierce motherly love, Ma has created a life for Jack. But she knows it's not enough...not for her or for him. She devises a bold escape plan, one that relies on her young son's bravery and a lot of luck. What she does not realize is just how unprepared she is for the plan to actually work.
Told entirely in the language of the energetic, pragmatic five-year-old Jack, Room is a celebration of resilience and the limitless bond between parent and child, a brilliantly executed novel about what it means to journey from one world to another.

I have read a bunch of books about people being kidnapped or being slaves to someone else, but nothing that has the perspective of an innocent child. As the reader, you know what the bigger picture is. You understand what his mom is going through and the struggles and the seriousness of the situation, but to Jake his mom protected him from the truth because for one she never knew when they would be free, second to not scare him, and third because he's only 5 he wouldn't understand a lot of things, even though she tries greatly to explain to him.
I can't imagine what it would be like to go through something like that and oddly enough. Before I read this book I would of definitely said that I would never make my child from my capture believe everything was okay and try to just make them happy with the living situation we have. After reading this book I really agree with the mom. She made Jake feel safe and secure even though to her life must of been awful. She put on a face and dealt with it for him. She didn't know how long they would be there so why tell him of all the amaizng things of the world and then let him down by the fact he will never be able to do them unless they escape. She made the right choice and in the end it all worked out! Jake had to realize for his own that there was so much more to life than he knew. After going back to Room he truly let's go of the past.
All in all this is a great read and/or listen !

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. Although sad, the story was well-constructed and ultimately uplifting. I've read a lot of criticism of the narration in these reviews, but for me, the narration added tremendously.What did you like best about this story?
Hearing this story from Jack's perspective was really interesting. The lengths his mother went to protect him from the reality of their situation and its aftermath was subtly revealed through her son's depiction of events. It was touching and felt really honest to me.Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?
I think all the performances were exceptional, and I tend to be sort of picky. However, I thought the dynamic between the narrators portraying Jack and his mother was really well done. The conversations FEEL like conversations. Excellent narration and editing as well.If you could rename Room, what would you call it?
I wouldn't change a single thing about this book.Any additional comments?
This is a book I will definitely listen to again. I loved every minute of it.Heart-wrenching story beautifully narrated
