HODNOTENIE: ***"Ešte v škole som čítala knihu, v ktorej sa uvádzalo, že každý by mal mať vlastnú izbu, - vraví. -Prečo?--Aby v nej mohol rozmýšľať.--Ja viem rozmýšľať aj pri tebe.- Čakám. -Prečo nemôžeš rozmýšľať v izbe, v ktorej som aj ja?-Mama zvraští tvár. -Zväčša môžem, ale bol by príjemný pocit občas sa uchýliť niekam, kde som iba ja.--Ja si to nemyslím.- " (s.289).

Dnes pro vás mám tak trochu archivní recenzi, která je zároveň tak trochu „jiná“. Původně jsem ji totiž psala na jaře jako součást seminární práce do školy a je zaměřená na překlad o něco více, než jste u mě zvyklí. Teď jsem si na ni vzpomněla a řekla jsem si, že by byla škoda se s vámi o ni nepodělit; kniha, o které je řeč, je totiž poměrně zajímavá.
Pětiletý Jack žije s Mami v Pokoji.[...]

To five-year-old Jack, Room is the world.
It's where he was born. It's where he and his Ma eat and sleep and play and learn. There are endless wonders that let loose Jack's imagination--the snake under Bed that he constructs out of eggshells, the imaginary world projected through the TV, the coziness of Wardrobe below Ma's clothes, where she tucks him in safely at night in case Old Nick comes.
Room is home to Jack, but to Ma it's the prison where she has been held since she was nineteen--for seven years. Trhough her fierce love for her son, she has created a live for him in that eleven-by-eleven-foot space. But Jack's curiosity is building alongside her own desperattion--and she knows that Room cannot contain either much longer.
Told in the poignant and funny voice of Jack, Room is a story of unconquerable love in harrowing circumstances, and of the diamond-hard bond between a mother and her child. It is a shocking, exhilarating, and riveting novel--but always deeply human and always moving.
Room is a place you will never forget. (front flap)
