Imagine being born in captivity, living your whole life believing that the world outside was just make-believe, and that the real world only existed in one single room. This is Jack's perception, and the story is narrated through his five-year old eyes. Now imagine that you are taken from the only world you know into an entirely different world, where what you thought was only make-believe is real indeed. Room brilliantly explores themes like freedom and normalcy. Does having freedom make you free? What makes a person normal? The emotional readjustment that Jack's mother, or Ma, goes through as she attempts to reintegrate herself into society is palpable. Excellent read and one that really makes you think.
