Reviews

Room is one of the most profoundly affecting books I've read in a long time. Jack moved me greatly. His voice, his story, his innocence, his love for Ma combine to create something very unusual and, I think, something very important . . . Room deserves to reach the widest possible audience
*John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas*

Emma Donoghue's writing is superb alchemy, changing innocence into horror and horror into tenderness. 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 and that feeling lingers for days
*Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler's Wife*

I've never read a more heart-burstingly, gut wrenchingly compassionate novel . . . As for sweet, bright, funny Jack, I wanted to scoop him up out of the novel and never let him go
*Daily Mail*

This is a truly remarkable novel. It presents an utterly unique way to talk about love, all the while giving us a fresh, expansive eye on the world in which we live
*New York Times Book Review*

Startlingly original and moving . . . Endearing and as utterly compelling as The Lovely Bones
*Scotsman*

This book will break your heart . . . It is the most vivid, radiant and beautiful expression of maternal love I have ever read
*Irish Times*

I loved Room. Such incredible imagination, and dazzling use of language. And with all this, an entirely credible, endearing little boy. It's unlike anything I've ever read before
*Anita Shreve*
