![]() The little things that Jack and his Ma had to do to survive in Room. but as an audiobook, it works as a multi-voiced performance. You can feel his mother and grandmother's frustrations with him. the voice of jack is very childlike, which has aggravated many reviewers, but also honestly adds to its realism. I have listened to it twice - first when it came out, then again when i purchased it on Audible. The book deserves the accolades it has received, and the narration here is a worthy presentation of it.īrought Room and the outside world to Life The gift of her commitment to her child's safe and happy life, under terrible circumstances, is remarkable. However, the more profound story is that of Jack's mother, whose adaptation to abuse, deprivation, and loneliness was much more difficult because she was an adult when it began, and became a mother soon thereafter. ![]() It makes believable, in a very personal way, children's ability to tolerate and grow as long as they are loved, no matter what the impoverished circumstances they are born to. Initially it appears to be primarily a story about a child-who adapts and flourishes in a truly horrible situation, and then adjusts to an entirely new experience. The narrators, especially "Jack", were fantastic. My memories of my early years with her were evoked by this book. ![]() I loved this book, and listened to it a second time with my mother. ![]()
