I feel like the main twist is obvious but there is more to it than a surface idea of said twist. It’s a good idea but falls flat in it’s ability to deliver. With a weak love triangle in the mix too-makes the lead and her friends kind of insufferable in a book that’s explicitly about the conflicts of POW and torture.

A lot of mention of the idea of hurting animals? It’s not actually happening but the idea is there? (Plot reasons-it makes sense). Heavy mentions of political acts of violence during the Bush Administration.royalraspberry's review against another edition

Maybe I'm not the audience for this. But I don't want Saw but it's an Alien in my sci-fi. This isn't a horror, which is why I picked it up, and then combined with the absolutely unlikeable characters I just can't deal with it.
