Jack is five and excited about his birthday. He lives with his Ma in Room, which has a locked door and a skylight and measures eleven feet by eleven feet. He loves watching TV and the cartoon characters he calls friends, but he knows that nothing he sees on screen is truly real - only him,Ma and the things in Room. Until the day Ma admits that there is a world outside.

This is a gruesome and heartbreaking, violent and tender story. I found it difficult to read to start with because of the 5-year-old 'speak' which I found difficult to get my head around. However it soon become a book I couldn't put down.
