This book opens at some undefined point in the future. After a summer full of juveniles murdering a lot of people, a new maximum security prison has been created and any boy convicted of murder is sent there for life with no parole.
The book opens with the main character being framed for murdering his best friend and sent to Furnace. There we get treated to half a book of "this place is so horrible and scary and weird things happen for no reason!". Unfortunately, to me it read as if the author was trying really hard to convince me how horrible and crazy this place was, and it wound up being ridiculous instead of horrifying. I giggled a few times during the kitchen scene. By the time the plot seemed ready to start moving forward again I wasn't interested in reading any further.
