A nonfiction book you can read about something that happened like in Lost In the Wild you read about people who actually were lost and had their story to tell about. To me I think this builds more suspense then a fiction book because you can see what actually happened to them. So I believe that Lost In the Wild is the better book. Side: LOST IN THE WILD

This book will be more interesting to read about than another guy getting lost somewhere. Which it seems like that's all people have to talk about or read about. The Room will be a unique book that will be a more interesting novel, it won't be another boring story. Side: ROOM
Getting lost in the wild is no boring story. It is a matter between walking out alive or being found dead in a gully. Knowing how to survive is a life esential and should be taught. If you do get lost somewhere and you have the skills to survive then your chances of living another day are much greater. Reading from a story that is not even real is pointless and teaches nothing about surviving in the wild. Side: LOST IN THE WILD

I believe that we should read Room, because The New York Times was named one of the six best fiction titles in 2010, and the Washington Post included it in their Editors' Top Ten. It was on many "Best of The Year" lists, has won many awards, and had many reviews saying how intense it is, and how it's gripping details pulls readers in and attaches them to the story. It also has immense diversity, having been published in over thirty two languages! Side: ROOM
i know i wouldn't want to read a fake story, i would rather read a real story and learn something from it. you could learn some survival skills from lost in the wild. I'm sure the lost is very gripping and intense and pulls readers in and attaches them to the story. once you get in the story you wouldn't want to stop because you would want to know how they survived, if they survived, and how they made it out.

Room is a book about an intense story of how even in the worst times, love will over rule all. With this mother protecting her son the way she does, this exciting thriller will keep you on your toes wanting more. While reading this, you will learn ways to overcome the most difficult times as well. Side: ROOM

Room is a book is completely narrated from the perspective of a five year old boy, who uses his imagination to change the view of his small, confined world. This is the reason we should read Room, for we always read books for the view of young adult or adults, but never from the view of a child. This interests me because I have never read a book from the view of a small child, and I personally have forgot how a five year old uses there imagination to view the world. I think that reading this book would broaden the type of books we have read, allowing us to relate in different ways to books than we ever have before. Side: ROOM
This can also be depressing for some people and they get sad about thinking of kidnapping. If they have been in the situation before. I feel like listening to a five year old we don't get to hear really interesting things. In the long run it is kinda sad and makes me not want to read it. Side: LOST IN THE WILD

So by searching up the books you found out that the book into the wild is far more popular than the room. There are more results because of the vast variety of versions of the book. People have made more of it because more people want to read it and other authors want some of the credit for it. So you're saying our book is far more popular and many more people like it. And the room compared to into the wild. Tell me which one you would rather search, a dumb room or someone lost in the wild. Thats right. Ours has that attention getter like woa who's in the wild?

Lost in The Wild in a non fiction book, so it is based on a true story. The Room is fiction, not real, so its just made up and you can't learn anything from this story. When you read Lost in The Wild its about them surviving in the wild. You will actually learn something from this book. In The room, all you learn about is somebody getting kidnapped when they were five, doesn't sound like a fun book to read. Side: LOST IN THE WILD
I think we should read this story because this story takes readers on a spin of events from frustration to how they overcome hurdles they run into. It will be a good book to see how theses people find there way out. It is also based on a real story that actually happened. Side: LOST IN THE WILD

Even though it is a real story, it does not mean it will be as good as a fiction-based book. There could be some suspence involved in the non-fiction book, but it's different for fiction. Fiction can go in any direction it wants to go. A true story has to stay on path, otherwise it would be fiction. Side: ROOM

I get where you're coming from, but also being in school, we read a lot survival books. I feel as if this book will not be a new learning experience for many of us. As we are going through our high school experience, we learn about many different survival skills that we will actually use in life. With this story, these things are very unlikely to happen and have no real life, every day problems. I think we would learn more while reading Room. Side: ROOM
I think the class should read this book because it deals with a real life problem, and it could even teach us a thing or too about survival if we ever find ourselves in a situation like that. It's something real that actually happens. It's not something made up. A made up book like the room is pointless to read, it won't ever help us in any way. It's useless. Side: LOST IN THE WILD
the fiction books are made for the people who want to use their imagination, the survival books are the same thing, something bad happens the main guy has to survive a bunch of other stuff happens that make people lose interest and then he finds help, it is a genre that is done over and over again. Side: ROOM
When our group sat down to pick between 33 men and Lost in the wild, it was a unanimous decision. We all had the same idea. We all picked Lost in the wild. I think that we can relate to the book and would find it very interesting. With out suvrvival none of us would be here. Side: LOST IN THE WILD

We should not read Lost in the Wild because most people have read a book about someone surviving in the wild, but most of us have not read a book based of someone being captive, especially a captive five year old boy. Reading Room will allow us to widen our knowledge of areas that we never would have if we do not read Room. Side: ROOM
From what I have previewed, the book is about the getting lost in the woods. I don't know what skills it has that we could use in life, maybe, how to not get lost in the woods? But there's one simple way to prevent yourself from getting lost in the woods.. Don't go into the woods! I believe that Room has the potential of being just as interesting, and suspenseful, if not more, because in fiction, literally anything can happen. Side: ROOM
I think we should read Lost In The Wild because it is based off of an area we all have heard of. It takes place in Minnesota in the boundary waters canoe area in the northern part of the state. We all are in Minnesota so reading this we could learn about what will happen if we are caught out in bad weather. We will learn what to do and what not to do in certain situations. So since we live in the area that this happens we could pick up some major tips on how to conduct ourselves. Side: LOST IN THE WILD
