ROOM- first post
I am on page 230 of Room by Emma Donoghue, so I have read a good 2/3 of it. At this point, it seems like the one climax of the book has happened. I say one climax, because it is really the only thing that could have happened so far and I imagine for the rest of the book. I found it weird that this one thing happened half way through the book, I don't know what else can happen now besides Jack learning about the "outside" as he puts it. I really want to criticize the book, because it seems like nothing happens. Besides a stretch of about 75 pages, its just small talk and nothing much happening. I really want to hate the book, but I continue to read it and not get bored with so little action. I guess that is just the magic of Ms. Donoghue as a writer, and I guess nothing much can happen when you live in an 11x11 foot space. So it may be boring but I continue to read it and not feel bored. In other words, I will read for a period of time and not be bothered, but afterwards I think back to what I read and think wow nothing really happened in those past 50 pages!
