Let me know how you feel about Freedom after you’ve read it. Room does sound creepy and dark, but I want to give it a shot.

He’s kind of compelling in a weird kind of way and I often ask myself why I bother with his work. Anyway ROOM sounds a little creepy to me and I remember thinking – pass on reading this one – when I first read the review. IMMORTAL LIFE is on my list though.

It’s wild to think this woman’s cells are still alive and helping with medicine today.
