To five-year-old Jack, Room is the entire world. It is where he was born and grew up; it's where he lives with his Ma as they learn and read and eat and sleep and play. At night, his Ma shuts him safely in the wardrobe, where he is meant to be asleep when Old Nick visits. Room is home to Jack, but to Ma, it is the prison where Old Nick has held her captive for seven years. Through determination, ingenuity, and fierce motherly love, Ma has created a life for Jack. But she knows it's not enough...not for her or for him.

Interesting premise, uninsightful execution
Revisado: 01-16-11
Encouraged by the great reviews, I decided to give Room a chance. Firstly, I thought the narration was above average. Although some of the characters got somewhat monotone at times, the narrator reading for Jack, the 5 year old boy, was excellent.
It would be a little unfair to say that this book reads like it was written by a child. After all it is supposed to come off that way. However, despite it's unusual premise Room lacks insight and originality. I kept waiting for it to surprise me but each line was as predictable as the next. Overall, if you are looking for something to listen to idly on your way to work, you might enjoy it. But captivating it is not.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 85
From one of our most acclaimed science writers: a dramatic narrative of the discovery of the true nature and startling size of the universe, delving back past the moment of revelation to trace the decades of work--by a select group of scientists--that made it possible.

Interesting book/monotonous narration
Revisado: 08-24-10
This book describes in an accessible language the great controversies of early twentieth century astronomy. Bartusiak also doesn't not leave out the characters involved, delving into the personalities, quirks and aspirations of the influential astronomers of era. It does so without dumbing down the science.
Unfortunately, the narration is less than stellar. The narrator proceeds at a good pace but reads almost every sentence with identical intonation.
