A book I cannot get through...

Every once in awhile I come across a book that I simply cannot force my self to finish.  The most recent culprit of this atrocity is "Room" written by Emma Donoghue.  I picked up this book because I noticed that it had won a plethora of awards, plus it was on Heather's List!  Usually Heather picks really great books, but alas this one to me was an utter dud!  

The book is told from the point-of-view of a young boy, which I think is where the problem of the book lays.  Since the narrator is five years old, the grammar matches.  I understand that the poor grammar was done on purpose by the author, but I couldn't wrap my head around it.  I think I would have liked the book (and maybe would have even finished it) if it were told from the perspective of the mother or if the narrator was omniscient.  

The story takes place in a room (what a witty title eh?!?) and it chronicles the life of the young boy and his mother in this room.  The boy and his mother are being held by a man, why?  I have no idea.  From what I read it was very confusing and every time I pick it up I just get angry.  This book is definitely a book that I will never finish!

The one thing that I do like about this book are the pages.  My copy of the book has this awesome vintage-looking pages.
