I kept waiting for this book to improve as I have liked other books by Barbara Kingsolver, but this book just never caught my interest. The writing was slow and repetitive. A very boring book.

Told in the voice of a 5 year old who has never lived outside of "room", a shed converted into a home for his mother after she was kidnapped. A very creative premise, and there are parts that are riveting and make you look at the world from a different perspective. It's not all about living in the shed. Excellent book club choice.
