"Grandmother" Sent Me To My "Room"

What can I say about "My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry?"  Interesting, confusing, and funny.  I wasn't crazy about all the Harry Potter references, but the overall story was amusing.  I was especially envious of the quirky relationship Elsa had with her grandmother.  My relationship with my late paternal grandmother wasn't as hysterical, but we were still close.  I would definitely recommend this book and can't wait to begin reading Emma Donoghue's "Room."  To five-year-old Jack, Room is the world.  It's where he was born, it's where he and his Ma eat and sleep and play and learn. At night, Ma shuts him safely in the wardrobe, where Jack is meant to be asleep when Old Nick visits.   Room is home to Jack, but to Ma it's the prison where she has been held for seven years.  Through her fierce love for her son, she heas created a life for him in this eleven-by-eleven-foot space.  But Jack's curiosity is building alongside Ma's own desperation--and she knows that Room cannot contain either much longer.  "Room" is a tale at once shocking, riveting, exhilerating--a story of unconquerable love in harrowing circumstances, and of the diamond-hard bond between a mother and her child.  After reading this, I may check out the movie (inspired by the book) that was released a few years ago.  In the meantime, I'm going to let "My Grandmother" send me on a "journey" to my "Room!"
