I'm about halfway through Room, a book written from the point of view of a kid born to a woman kept captive in a sound proof shed. The kid is 5 years old and has never known anything outside of Room. He only knows Ma, and the captor. There's a TV, but he doesn't understand that the TV is showing the real world. It's really well written from the kid's perspective and is quite a page turner. Easy read and riveting.

I finished Room a few days ago. It was good throughout. Had an appropriate ending.

I don't know the numbers, but there was a huge waiting list for Room in our library. My wife was on the list, and finally got the book, and after she finished it in two days, she let me read it before returning it. It took me a whole week to read, because I don't have a lot of free time.
