"In the summer of 1991 I was a normal kid. I did normal things. I had friends and a mother who loved me. I was just like you. Until the day my life was stolen. For eighteen years I was a prisoner.

For eighteen years I survived an impossible situation. On August 26, 2009, I took my name back. My name is Jaycee Lee Dugard. I dont think of myself as a victim. I survived...."

Publisher's Summary
The story of a mother, her son, a locked room, and the outside world.
It’s Jack’s birthday, and he’s excited about turning five.
Jack lives with his Ma in Room, which has a locked door and a skylight, and measures 11 feet by 11 feet. He loves watching TV, and the cartoon characters he calls friends, but he knows that nothing he sees on screen is truly real – only him, Ma, and the things in Room. Until the day Ma admits that there's a world outside....
Told in Jack's voice, Room is the story of a mother and son whose love lets them survive the impossible. Unsentimental and sometimes funny, devastating yet uplifting, Room is a novel like no other.

Unique and moving
The perspective of this story from a child raised in such restricted and traumatic circumstances is touching. In some ways I found this more poignant as it does not revel in the sensational aspect of this crime. The child's view and behaviour reveals more about the impact and implications of this crime upon others than is usually considered. The strength of this young woman's character is amazing. A great read.

A gripping story
My first audiobook, and I was hooked. Great performances from all the cast, especially Michal Friedman. The story was vivid and insightful, raising interesting questions about parenting, PTSD, and the trauma of growth. Minus one performance star for the shocking attempt at an Australian accent.

Interesting
The story is told from the perspective of a 5 year old; while this is insightful, I found it really tedious to listen to at times.

Incredible story, very worth hearing
I struggled a little with the child voice as the primary narrator on this book, but persevered because I knew that hearing the story from Jack's perspective was the author's intention. I'm so glad that I listened to the end. It was not the easiest book I've listened to this year, but the story was incredible, believable and very important to help understand the experiences of people who have had the trauma of being held hostage over time.

A facinating insight
I read this after a recommendation from a friend who said she had never read a book like it. I didn't read any any reviews or the blurb before starting this audiobookl so it was surprising and a bit disturbing as the story unfolded. Although tedious at times I think the narration was well done, not sure how I would have gone reading the hard copy? My house is beautifully clean and tidy as I couldn't stop listening until I was finished, an added bonus!!
Well worth the read.

I laughed and I cried! Artfully told by author and narrator.
Everything about this audio production and novel is excellent. How the author sustained the perspective of Jack throughout the novel is truly an art. The narrator of the audio had me both in tears and laughing. I'm not sure I will be able to be in public when I watch the movie as I found the story emotionally challenging. A truly extraordinary novel that comes to life in this audio version.

Worst Aussie accent ever.
It was an interesting and thought provoking concept for a story. Worst Australian accent I've heard though.
