The Book: Room by Emma Donoghue
The Review: "Room is a book to read in one sitting. When it's over you look up: the
world looks the same but you are somehow different and that feeling
lingers for days."
The Reviewer: Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler's Wife (and someone who should know better)
The Verdict: After finishing Room, you will indeed look up (of that I am certain), however I imagine it will merely be to question what went wrong with this promising little book. It's not that's it's bad, it's just nowhere near as important as it thinks it is.
