This book is not what I was expecting. I honestly had no clue what it was about other than being told from the perspective of a 5 year old who lives in a Room. After reading it, I can confirm I was right about that part, but there's certainly a lot more to it. 
 I found myself a little bored at the beginning of the book, but it soon became interesting and for a good chunk of it I was hooked. Then there was a resolution of a plot point and I found everything after that to be pretty darn dull. A lot of what happened after that was written in little vignettes and I kept reading, but it didn't really grip me anymore. I kind of like the fact that it was done this way because if it had ended after the exciting part I would've wonder what came after. However, it ended up feeling really dull in comparison. 
 I give it a 3.5/4 stars really, but decided to be nice and bump it up instead of down.
