Jirok Song sojuck — I know the reviews for this book swing wildly from dislike to love, often very few reviews sit in the middle. Most of the negative reviews are focused on the likability of the narrator being the voice of a 5 year old with at times a very advanced vocabulary and other times descending into a very childish manner. There also seems to be quite a bit of misplaced anger that this is a fictionalized version of what has happened to young women around the globe in a similar awful and seemingly unimaginable situation as we find in ROOM. I would point out that this is a work of fiction. The author took an event that happened in history, looked at from a different angel and wrote a story about it. While some would have preferred that view was from the primary victim's story instead we are presented the view from the other victim kept in that isolated space. I believe Donoghue does an above average job in presenting us Jack's world in a realistic fashion. I would say that readers perhaps make the mistake of trying to put themselves in Jack's shoes and finding they don't fit because they want to propel the storyline from an adult view instead of a very sheltered world view of a young 5 year old. I find myself unable to give this 5 stars simply because I felt the second half of the book was too rushed and would have liked to have seen Donoghue explore more in depth the changes from living in the ROOM to living outside.

Chris Thomas artfulrandom — I am a 6th grade teacher who brought the series in for one student, with permission from his mother. I started a reading frenzy. Yes, I realize these are not the best written books in history. However, just like Goosebumps, and any other series of books, if it gets them reading, then I am all for it. I do not believe that my female students think Edward is just around the corner. If they do, is there any harm in make believe? I applaud Stephenie Meyer for writing books that appeal to a young audience.

Carlos Quintela _azkit — loved it

Erin Bonilla _rin_onilla — My first attempt at a Toni Morrison. I was told that she writes largely allegorically. Regardless, clearly I didn't understand this book. I really thought I would adore her, but, she may just be beyond me.

John Boughton _oughton — The writing style is very accessible and focuses more on comparative health care at the personal level, rather than inundating the reader with statistics and data. Highly recommended.

Ben Robson _ox_raphics — I originally heard about this book from my friend Sarah who kept getting caught reading it under her desk during 5th block Theology. She doesn't normally read, so I thought I'd give it a go. I think that one copy made the rounds throughout our entire class of seniors before it was restored, a little more tattered and dog-eared, to its original owner. I LOVED this book. I loved how satirical it was of the entire college application process, and of high school relationships, and of high school theater, and of high school in general. I adore how hilarious it is - Acito's sense of humor is so warped, so completely twisted and perverse, that I couldn't help but laugh my ass off. I'm afraid to say that some of the theater stuff was lost on me, but as a whole it was a fantastic distraction from college apps, SATs, and all the other meaningless crap you're forced to go through before you enter the real world. I definitely couldn't read this with my mom in the room, though - the utter abundance of sex probably would have ensured my permanent imprisonment in my parents' house had she ever read a portion of it.
