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.

especial e delicado

acho que a minha experiência com o áudio-livro foi incomparável ao que teria sido lendo 'room' de qualquer outra maneira e isso apenas adiciona ao que senti lendo.

o livro é narrado por garotinho de cinco anos chamado jack e ouvir a voz desse mesmo garotinho deu uma sensação incrível de realidade a história e a maneira como a autora narra tudo numa perspectiva infantil perfeita deixa tudo ainda melhor e mais tocante e delicado.

obviamente não é um livro para todo mundo e, em certos pontos, é bastante sensível mas ele divide-se em dois ao ser tão real quanto impossível e necessário.

um dos meus melhores livros (e áudiolivros) do ano, sem dúvida.
