- “Room is that rarest of entities, an entirely original work of art. I mean it as the highest possible praise when I tell you that I can’t compare it to any other book. Suffice to say that it’s potent, darkly beautiful, and revelatory.”
Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours and Specimen Days
- “Emma Donoghue's writing is superb alchemy, changing innocence into horror and horror into tenderness. 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.”
Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler’s Wife and Her Fearful Symmetry
- "I loved Room. Such incredible imagination, and dazzling use of language. And with all this, an entirely credible, endearing little boy. It's unlike anything I've ever read before."
Anita Shreve, author of The Pilot’s Wife and A Change in Altitude
- “Room is one of the most profoundly affecting books I’ve read in a long time. Jack moved me greatly. His voice, his story, his innocence, his love for Ma combine to create something very unusual and, I think, something very important. I read the book over two days, desperate to know how their story would end...Room deserves to reach the widest possible audience.”
John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
