Room

I finished the book called Room. (Read Amazon's descriptions and reviews for more info.) In all the hundreds of books I've read in my lifetime, I have never read such an intense, terrifying and emotionally wrenching book. At the denouement I thought I would be physically sick. After getting through that part of the book, it was still hard-going but rather interesting. I'm not glad I read it because it is still in my head. I actually had a nightmare about it. I would like to talk to anyone else who has read it to see if your reaction was similar to mine or if I just over-reacted to the story. It's hit the NY Times Bestseller list, so I guess this is a cautionary tale for this family of adventurous readers.
