Book Review #1: ROOM by Emma Donoghue

buku yg buat aku jatuh cinta pandang pertama. from the first moment i see it, i touch it, i smell it. and finally read it.

buku ni keluar dlm thun lepas, tp bru berpeluang beli thun ni, jumaat lepas. mmg tak mengecewakan lansung.

the cover back then in 2011...

ROOM is a story being written from a 5 years old Jack's point of view. He lives with his Ma in an 11x11 feet Room. At night, Old Nick will come around 9pm and Door will make a beep beep sound. Its a sign that Jack needs to stay in Wardrobe and keep quiet.

Jack has Rug, Table, Plant, and Spider as his friends. Sometimes he watches Dora The Explorer, Spongebob Squarepants, Bob The Builder and others but he likes Dora best.

The only thing that are real are his 'friends' in Room. Trees, men and woman, ice cream, and the sea are TV except for the sea when he and Ma poo, it will go to the sea, so sometimes sea is real. Jack hates green beans so sometimes he prays to Baby Jesus not to let Old Nick deliver more green beans. Every morning, Jack will count his cereal to 100 and eat them with milk carefully so as not to spill any milk on the Table because Ma will get mad.

One day Jack and Ma plan to escape from Room, away from Old Nick because he is evil. Jack made it but it is the first time he ever get out of Room. The first time he see a real dog, not TV. The first time he meet a he and a she and a baby. Jack needs to save Ma from Old Nick and bring police to Room. It is Plan B after tricking Old Nick with Plan A. Will Jack ever find a way to call a police and save Ma? Will Old Nick kill Ma if he goes back to Room, knowing that Jack and Ma tricked him?

I'm not going to tell you that. Grab your own copy and have fun with it! Totally worth every penny! I personally think one of the comment on this book is true, the only time you will keep your hands away from this book is when you need to go to the loo.

my very own copy of ROOM. i think its the last copy at Popular Kuantan for now. xjumpa yg lain.

beli jumaat lepas, habis harini. first 2 days baca dlm 50 pages je.. start smlm bc 100+ pages and today 200+ pages. kan best klu sesape diluar sana boleh buat ROOM ni jadi movie. mmg confirm2 aku gi tgk. serious ckp. woahhh mmg tgh gila dgn ROOM and Dan agreed too. hihihi... ok lah tu obses dgn ROOM, bkn dgn benda lain. btl x?

so conclusion, (i know this is not a proper book review but who cares!!) sape yg nk tau mcm mn budak umur 5 thun fikir, boleh la baca buku ni. sape yg nak tau kasih sayang n bond btwn a mother n her son mcm mn, pun boleh baca buku ni.. sape yg nk tgk atau hayati kreativiti sorang mak layan anak dia dan cipta mainan untuk anak dia, boleh baca buku ni. so far dlm bnyk2 buku yg aku ade n aku baca, this is probably the best so far! Congrats Emma Donoghue!

esok ke perlis! paling jauh perjalanan on road ever! semoga Allah permudahkan.. amin...
