“An entirely original work of art. I mean it as the highest possible praise when I tell you that I can’t compare it to any other book. Suffice to say that it’s potent, darkly beautiful, and revelatory.”
—MICHAEL CUNNINGHAM, author of The Hours and By Nightfall
“Room is one of the most profoundly affecting books I’ve read in a long time. I read the book over two days, desperate to know how their story would end…. Room deserves to reach the widest possible audience.”
—JOHN BOYNE, author of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
“Remarkable…. Both gripping and poignant, it’s a tribute to human resourcefulness and resilience in extremity, and a stirring portrait of a mother’s devotion.”
—Toronto Star
“Thrilling and at moments palm-sweatingly harrowing…. A truly memorable novel.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“An astounding, terrifying novel.”
—The New Yorker
