She's just finishing a session when the police arrive on her doorstep - her ex-husband, David, has gone missing.

When a team decides that they only want one reader then the reader should have different voices when the book is written with different people telling a story. It was very hard to follow at times because of who was telling the story.

This story was a great story however it did not need all of the explicit sex to make it a good story. I would not have bought it if I had known it was going to be so sexually explicit. That being said I liked the story line.

I want to thank Matthew Perry for sharing his story. It is a very brave thing to do. The writing kept me rooting for a good outcome and Mathew reading it himself is very humbling. I hope only for the best for the new improved Matty.

Chika Jeune was born three days before the devastating earthquake that decimated Haiti in 2010. She spent her infancy in a landscape of extreme poverty, and when her mother died giving birth to a baby brother, Chika was brought to The Have Faith Haiti Orphanage that Albom operates in Port Au Prince. With no children of their own, the 40-plus children who live, play, and go to school at the orphanage have become family to Mitch and his wife, Janine. But at age five, Chika is suddenly diagnosed with something a doctor there says "no one in Haiti can help you with."

To five-year-old Jack, Room is the entire world. It is where he was born and grew up; it's where he lives with his Ma as they learn and read and eat and sleep and play. At night, his Ma shuts him safely in the wardrobe, where he is meant to be asleep when Old Nick visits. Room is home to Jack, but to Ma, it is the prison where Old Nick has held her captive for seven years. Through determination, ingenuity, and fierce motherly love, Ma has created a life for Jack. But she knows it's not enough...not for her or for him.
