dr_dumpling 's review for:
Incarceron
by Catherine Fisher
Too much description, not enough action. I felt like the author spent way too much time describing unnecessary details such as the scenery and Claudia's clothing. Okay, they might be pretty, but let's get on with the story, please. At the beginning, although the chapters about Finn were intriguing, I found the chapters about Claudia dull and tedious. The first several chapters were also really confusing and the frequent narration changes didn't help much; you practically had no idea what was going on.
But the book did improve as the story moved on, and the ending was good. I mean, I can sort of see why Incarceron has been receiving such praise--after all, it's a well-crafted dystopian book with a completely new world and idea as well as strong characters--but it didn't really meet my expectations.
