Re: Good book
I recently read 'Room' by Emma Donoghue. It's written from the perspective of a 5 year old boy who, along with his Mum, is being held captive (think Josef Fritzl :unsure:)
It doesn't take too long to get used to the style of writing (written as if being told by a 5 year old) and it's a really good read. I couldn't put it down, wanting to know what happens..... I recommend it :) |

Sounds intriguing though, its an unusual idea, might work. Its only £2.99 on kindle at present, could be worth a go.......

Thats what comes through in the book, no matter how dark things were he still has real human interest in his captors, almost seems sorry at times for the position that they are in having to guard him, rather than just being concerned about his own predicament. I expected to read real hatred towards them, but didn't find it.
