Cont, Room 4/6/11
I am really enjoying this book for my second novel choice. Room is a really great book so far and even not finishing it I would still recommend the book to anyone. So far Jack and his mom have been trapped in this room for a long time. Actually for Jack his whole life, and for his mom shes been in there for seven years. We come to find out that his mother was kidnapped by "Old Nick" and was raped and thats how exactly Jack was brought into this world. To me when I read that and found out that old Nick was really his dad I was kind of shocked, I think deep down I knew that he had to be his dad if he was born in the room but I cant believe that someone is capable of doing something like that. I was thinking to myself when reading that part if she loves him the same as she would if he was born by a guy she was in love with or married too. I couldnt imagine having a child from someone who raped me. I mean i would still love him or her because they are my child and I would take care of them no matter what, but I think it would be really hard to except the fact that he was born or his father is the guy who raped her and she concieved a child. There are a lot of things in this book that make me super angry and feel really bad for them, not only are they locked in this tiny room with no fresh air ever, but they only get a limited supply of food, they dont get many nice things when they do get Sunday treats and the fact that Jack is not up to par as far as he should be with his learning abilities. I cant wait to finish this book and find out if they ever get to get out the Room.

Hillary, I'm so glad you're enjoying it! The second half of the book is different from the first. I'm really excited to talk to you about it when you finish. (It's hard not to give stuff away!)
