Book #5 of 2016 
 While I enjoyed Room and I look forward to seeing the movie, there was something about it that I just kind of disliked. It may have been the disconnect between Jack's vocabulary and the way he employed it, but that could also be overthinking things. 
 The parts that I found most compelling and realistic were where we got small glimpses into how others viewed Jack and how oblivious to these perceptions Jack was. Now that sounds like the five year olds I have met. 
 Whatever the case with this book, I still finished it in two sittings, having stayed up fairly late on the first night rooting for these characters.
