Room Resources

Emma Donoghue's website is a virtual playground of information about Room and all her other novels past, present, and future. It also has an extensive biography and lots of pictures of Emma and her groovy red hair.

What? We're not enough for you? Fine. The publisher's website has a reading group guide, videos, audio clips, and more. (Ours are better, though.)

Yes, Room is going to be a movie. Your guess is as good as ours as to how this is going to work. As of September 2009, the script was done, but the film was yet to be cast. Who's your dream cast?

Emma Donoghue speaks to an eager book club about Room. This book club seems to have actually read the book.

Emma Donoghue's career isn't dependent solely on the luck o' the Irish. She's been writing since she was nineteen. Here she talks about Room with the website Irish Central.

This clip of the TV Book Club has great British accents, blurry-lenses recreation of short scenes of the novel à la true crime shows, and some interesting opinions about the actual book.

We're not sure if this student video accurately captures the tone of Room (although Old Nick's farmer's tan is a nice touch), but it's a nice visual recap of the plot of the novel.

NPR's Melissa Block calls Jack one of the most captivating narrators she's met (and she reads a lot). We enjoyed our time with him too. Listen to how Emma Donoghue created him in this interview on All Things Considered.

The voice actress who narrates the audiobook was in her 30s when she read Jack. Having an actual five-year-old read the audiobook would probably violate some child labor law.

Here's one artist's rendition of what Room looks like—or at least how Jack would draw Room. Where the heck is Wardrobe?

The U.K. cover of Room crafts Room from a pair of building blocks. It almost looks cozy. Almost.
