Room by Emma Donoghue

Room by Emma Donoghue was recommended to me by my longest, dearest friend LC. She text me and told me it was good, so naturally I requested a hold on it at the library and picked it up the very next day. The first couple pages was hard for me to get into, see it's written from the point of view of a 5 year old boy. The language was a bit off and I wasn't sure what it was about. Let me tell you after the first 20 pages I couldn't put the book down. I finished the book in 3 days! I've only done that a few times. I highly recommend this book to anyone, it's not like any book I've ever read.

To five-year-old Jack, Room is the world. It's where he was born, it's where he and his Ma eat and sleep and play and learn. There are endless wonders that let loose Jack's imagination-the snake under Bed that he constructs out of eggshells, the imaginary world projected through the TV, the coziness of Wardrobe below Ma's clothes, where she tucks him in safely at night in case Old Nick comes.
  Room is home to Jack, but to Ma it's the prison where she has been held since she was nineteen-for seven years. Through her fierce love for her son, she has created a life for him in that eleven-by-eleven foot space. But Jack's curiosity is building alongside her own desperation-and she knows that Room cannot contain either much longer.
  Told in the poignant and funny voice of Jack, Room is a story of unconquerable love in harrowing circumstances, and of the diamond-hard bond between a mother and her child. It is a shocking, exhilarating, and riveting novel-but always deeply human and always moving. Room is a place you will never forget.

I also think this would make a great book club book. I may still suggest this to my book club and read it again.
Has anyone else read Room? What did you think?
Now on to the next book, what is everyone else reading right now?
