Fabrizia Geremei _e_abri — I would give it 3 1/2 stars if goodreads had that option. Evie has cancer. She has just been told that there is nothing that can be done. She is dying. She takes a cab from the Dr. office and yells at him to stop, causing a car accident that would be fatal for her. But, fortunately for her, she has been stalked by a vampire. He runs off with her and changes her. The vampire, James, sensed something different about her and knew she was suffering from a terminal illness. He watched and waited for a good time to approach her and ask if she would like to become immortal. Evie jumps from the fying pan and into the fire with her change. A vampire war is on the horizon and her immortal existance is in danger of ending prematurely. The romance between Evie and James is sudden and honestly reminds me of a mixture of a few popular series out there. I would say that Elisa Paige takes some of the better parts and creates her own take on a vampire romance. I stayed up until 11:30 reading last night, because I could not put it down. The ending is intense and leaves you at a major cliff hanger. I would say that this is an entertaining novel. Caution for anyone sensitive to intimacy and profanity. Both are contained in the pages of this book. http://lisaisabookworm.blogspot.com/2...

Christian Soulliere _hristian_oulliere — ** spoiler alert ** For pre-school children we know that there is safety in the familiar. A toddler can move halfway around the world but as long as the familiar caretakers and favoured toys are there, along with some semblance of routine, he or she won’t notice the change. I thought about that a lot while I read this novel. And this is an incredible novel. Not only is this written from the perspective (and syntax!) of a five-year old boy, but this boy was born into captivity after his mother was abducted, raped, and held against her will. Room is the only home Jack knows and his mother finds ingenious ways to keep him occupied and educated, healthy and protected in a space the size of a garden shed. This is truly where the genius of the novel lies, as we have to slowly comprehend the situation through Jack’s explanations. The significance of certain activities did not become clear to me until the second half of the novel, which I think shows Donoghue’s talent and her understanding of how children interpret and explain their own worlds, and can enjoy the security that can be found with a parent, in a scary situation. Her representation of Ma as both a caring mother and captive woman is also a lovely character study. The book, however, falters in the second half and I think is because the writer has to struggle with a lot of other influences, not unlike Jack. I also found it hard to believe some of the changes in Jack’s Ma, but again, there are other factors at play. There were some other interactions with adults that I found downright irresponsible, which made it hard to really believe in the characters. Perhaps it was the pressure to move the story along that was responsible for these less developed characters and unrealistic situations but the last section of the book was definitely missing the nuances of the first half. At the same time, there were moments in the earlier part of the novel when I wondered when things would change, so it might just be hard to balance this shift in tenor of the novel. Donoghue managed to avoid any heavy-handed commentary on isolation in modern cities, but I enjoyed a few veiled attacks on the media frenzy that surrounds these situations and the label of “freak” that is given to survivors. As I read this book, I fell in love with Jack and understood him to be a relatively normal, curious, intelligent child, who just hasn’t had much experience with being outside his Room. He can learn that. I think that’s most of what I appreciated about this book, that is showed the nurture side of parent-child relationships as it invited readers to think about how our knowledge of the world around us is shaped by our experiences.

Tamar Efrati _amar_frati — I think I like the idea of this book so much more than the actual book itself (really, my rating should be lower than it is). The concept of following the book back in time back to its origin sounds promising. We find out where a stain in the book comes from, how a white hair got stuck between pages, and so on. However, the book is full of characters I couldn't stand. Even the individual stories were uncomfortable -- containing rape, torture, beatings, murder, etc. I know I really can't fault Brooks for that, since the history of the Jewish people is FAR from happy, but yikes, this story really slathers it on. Meanwhile, the ending of the book is so far-fetched, that it actually made me angry. The relationship between Hanna and Ozren is just gross -- I mean, really?! She licks grease off his fingers after she just met him?! Ew. Overall, the book is a good concept, just poorly executed.
