Jack is five He lives with his Ma They live in a single locked room They don't have the key Jack & Ma are prisoners Room is a book to read in one sitting When it's over you look up the world looks the same but you are somehow different & that feeling lingers for days' Audrey Niffenegger One of the most profoundly affecting books I've read in a long time' John Boyne Such incredible imagination & dazzling use of language Room is unlike anything I've ever read before' Anita Shreve Room is that rarest of entities an entirely original work of art I mean it as the highest possible praise when I tell you that I can't compare it to any other book Suffice to say that it's potent darkly beautiful & revelatory' Michael Cunningham
