This book was an amazing read. I can't get into much detail without giving anything away, but the premise alone intrigued me enough to wait on the MRRL hold list for months to get a chance to read this.
"Room" refers to an 11x11 space inhabited by 5-year-old Jack and his Ma, and the only place Jack has ever known. They are being kept in a "21st-century prison" by Old Nick, a psychopath who kidnapped Ma seven years ago and rapes her regularly. The novel is narrated by Jack, who doesn't believe there is a world outside of Room.
I've heard the audio version is great, too.
336 pages.
