The truth about forever

I am reading ROOM and also the truth about forever. The first book I started reading is ROOM but I have also started on the truth about forever at the same time. I am a little ahead on ROOM than I am in the truth about forever. But I would recommend ROOM to anyone who doesn't enjoy reading but has to read and they don't really know what. Also, recommend ROOM to anyone who loves to read who has not read this book yet. After the first book Liar, I was not to sure if i would like ROOM but i really like it alot. I think it is different how Jack and his mom live in a 11 by 11 foot room. Jack has been living there his whole life, because he was born there but his mom has been living there for seven years. It suprised me that "Old Nick" was Jacks dad because at first I thought it was another work for Nick Jr, the cartoon. Maybe I was not paying attention but they I figured out that Old Nick was Jacks dad. Old Nick raped Jack's mom and that is how Jack was born.  The book is very interesting on all the things Jack and his mom do, all the time spent together. Jack seems happy that he is a daily routine that is very secure, where he can be with hish mom at all times. She has certain things for Jack to do daily such as exercise, sing and read. Jack seems like a lovable little five year old boy. I just started today reading from where I left off on ROOM and I can't wait to finish it and also finish my extra credit book the truth about forever.

  1. Great work here, Katie. I read Room the same way...continually learning little bits of the secrets that come together to create the story of what really happened.
