The Rig by Joe Ducie
5.0
05/02 - 02/04/2021
DNF @ pg 116
I wanted to keep reading this but my copy is due back at the library, if only there was an audiobook! I was really enjoying this but it's just taking me too long to read, I'll get back to finishing it someday though.

15 year old William Drake is an expert at breaking out of high-security prisons. But what happens when his talents land him in The Rig, a juvenile detention facility in the Arctic Ocean? With his every movement being watched, the clock is ticking. But he is not alone; Tristan and Irene will be with him on his journey through the iciest parts of hell. But The Rig is shielding a horrible secret. The Rig is not just a prison. The Rig is going to change the world.
In the past Will has escaped high security prisons spread across the world but gets caught within weeks of said escapes. Drake is extraordinarily brave, but with his tracker still clinging to his wrist escape seems impossible. Will knows there is always a way out, there is always a flaw in the system.
Joe Ducie portrays Drake to be a serious type of guy, concentrated on his goal; leaving The Rig, so serious that I often forgot that he was only 15 years old. Ducie's style of writing along with the intense plot definitely makes me want to read any other books he may have written. However Ducie fails to describe his characters very well, by the end of the book I was unable to describe the appearances of even the main character, Drake himself.
