I felt the same way, Rachel. I was sitting in my living room and found myself shaking a bit and very anxious. I had to sit it down for a minute to gain my composure. :)
In the Fritzl case which inspired the author to write room, the mother said that the two days she had to wait without her daughter were longer than the 24 years she was trapped in her dungeon. it was definately tough and I too was shaking and very nervous.
I too was a nervous wreck during this part, especially because I saw that I was only halfway through the book. All I could think all through the planning stages and then the actual escape was "They're going to get caught! They're going to get found out! There's too much book left!" Phew!
I admired Ma for her bravery. She sent Jack into this dangerous situation out of total desperation. I didn't feel any animosity toward Ma during that scene, I felt breathless for her as I imagined her sitting alone in Room, not knowing if her baby was dead or alive. That whole part made me feel sick to my stomach and dizzy with anxiety for both characters.
Definitely the best part in the whole book! I felt like I was right there with him too! Although I was a little mad at Ma for doing it, I couldn't help but admire her in the end because it was obvious how much she truly cared for Jack and she was just trying to get them out. I tried picturing it from her point of view and I think it's a wonder she's not totally insane.
this also gave me butterflies! I was so afraid for him!
i so agree, i was trying to help him run.
