emordnilap's review against another edition
dark
mysterious
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
3.5
"But when it came down to it, in the moments that mattered, it was all of us against the corrections officers. Us against the warden. Us against the state. Us against the whole world." -pg. 32
Some of the commentary on the justice/judicial system was really refreshing to see and felt relevant even though this book was written 5+ years ago. I found the ending a little bit confusing, I was pretty sure I had understood what happened, but a quick google search confirmed my thoughts.
The frequent mentions of r@pe and SA was unsettling and felt really unnecessary for the most part which was really annoying to be honest.
