It's a Prison, Not a Paradise!



My Rating: 5/5

Review: Oh what a thrill-ride this little lovely turned out to be! I was completely hooked from beginning to end. In a futuristic world, a paradise was created. It has now become the worst hell you can possibly imagine. Finn is a prisoner trapped within, and Claudia is the future queen of the outside world who is determined to free him. Finn is not alone, of course, and there are many struggles within Incarceron. He has a oath brother named Kiero, a faithful follower named Attia, and an old wise man who believes that he will get them to freedom. It's a story that grips you, and won't let go even after you've reached it's end. Even better, there's a sequel.

Book Description:Incarceron is a prison so vast that it contains not only cells, but also metal forests, dilapidated cities, and vast wilderness. Finn, a seventeen-year-old prisoner, has no memory of his childhood and is sure that he came from Outside Incarceron. Very few prisoners believe that there is an Outside, however, which makes escape seems impossible.

And then Finn finds a crystal key that allows him to communicate with a girl named Claudia. She claims to live Outside- she is the daughter of the Warden of Incarceron, and doomed to an arranged marriage. Finn is determined to escape the prison, and Claudia believes she can help him. But they don't realize that there is more to Incarceron than meets the eye. Escape will take their greatest courage and cost more than they know.
