From page one, I was pulled in, hook, line and sinker. By page 10 I was totally immersed into the story and DID NOT want to stop. Throughout the book, I found myself holding my breath, wondering what in the world would happen next.

HEADS UP:: This is a FANTASTIC book. Its a book one in a set of 5 or so.

By the time you are finished reading this one you'll feel as though you've been, punched, strung up, flipped down, chewed all of your nails off and then start chewing on a friends nails. lol Ok, perhaps not that ridiculous but close to it. This is the best horror/YA book Ive read this year.

The author weaves the descriptions of Furnace "the prison", the characters and all of its designs into a web so perfect, I just sat and had to admire his writing abilities. Its as though this place of fiction were a living, breathing, true, real place and Alexander Gordon Smith has truly been there and is telling it from memory.

If you love horror with a YA twist, then give this genius of an author a go. GRADE A, 5 STARS! On to book 2, "Solitary".
