5.0

So impressively crafted, well written and impactful. The author’s incorporation of true facts into the narrative of this story set in a dystopian America that is capitalizing on and gamifying the execution of its inmates really drives the messaging home. 

It’s challenging, it’s devastating and it’s a very important read.
