Dude. I’m traumatized! This was such a great introduction to this author for me. It kept me on the edge of my seat and cringing (in the best ways possible). I’m going to be honest. This wasn’t the easiest read. So check your triggers! It’s every refugee’s nightmare!! 
I plotted the many deaths of Lenn while reading.

Brilliant. I devoured this book so quickly - from page one I was hooked and there was not a single boring or pointless moment in the plot. I felt so much for our main character, I was angry and sad and felt claustrophobic and terrified. Will Dean is quickly becoming my favorite author and I cannot believe I haven't heard anyone talk about this book, it deserves all the praise!

Hard to rate such a harrowing story - I read it in one sitting and was hooked by the pace, particularly at the end.
