Room Again

It's Libby, I know I don't have to blog again this week, but I just finished Room and I'm like shaking. I would most definitely read it again. This book is seriously unbelievable. I literally read it all of yesterday and I woke up this morning and just read. I could not put it down. If you want to read it you should probably stop reading this blog cause I'm gonna spoil it for you. Ma doesn't tell the little boy (Jack) that life actually exists outside of Room. She tells him that the TV isn't showing anything that is real. And she finally tells Jack that she was kidnapped and Old Nick has kept her in Room ever since. 7 years. Then they try to escape, she makes Jack pretend he is really sick to get Old Nick to take him to the hospital, but he won't, so the next night when he comes they pretend Jack is dead and Ma makes Old Nick bury him, she tells him to take Jack far away, so Jack is wrapped in a rug and Old Nick puts him in the back of his truck and starts driving away. The plan is Jack is supposed to unwrap himself from the rug and jump out of the back of the truck at the first stop sign, but the tension builds when he has trouble unravelling himself until the third or fourth stop. When Jack finally unwraps himself he jumps out of the truck and runs towards the first person he sees, Jack has never talked to anyone else his whole life so he has trouble getting the words out. Old Nick is chasing after him. And the man thinks Old Nick is his caring father or something. With luck the man has a dog and it bites Jack so the guy calls the police and Old Nick runs and drives away. The police get there and Jack manages to tell them he was kidnapped and they needed to save his mother. The book got really intense and I won't tell you anymore, you'll just have to read it, so read on! Over and Out
