Book Ninety Three
Book Ninety Three - Room by Emma Donoghue
This is close to becoming my book of the year. I have not read a book this good for months! The last one was "The Road" I think, in around April. The level of tension in the story is at the same high level for the whole book, just as you think its going get a little less exciting - something else happens! I want to write about this book, but please don't read this until you've read it - you don't want to ruin it for yourself! It took me about 3 hours in total to read, so its a quick read, but a brilliant one. ( cut for spoilers... )
I seem to have read lots of books about dysfunctional people and families recently - I'm currently reading Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs, which is excellent, but the people in it are just weird! - so after my current book I think I'll read something a bit "nicer" and more "normal" - I've got the choice of either Revelation by CJ Sansom (historical crime), a book about Jim Morrison (non-fiction) or Mansfield Park by Jane Austen...I think I'll go for Mansfield Park :)
