A review by deborahharroun
Incarceron by Catherine Fisher
3.0
One of the best books I've read this year. Such a great and original concept. Can't wait to read #2!
2023 re-read:
2 1/2 stars
I was looking back and saw that I had read this book in 2011. I called it one of my favorite books of the year.
But I couldn’t remember a thing about it.
I have a terrible memory. I already know this. And sometimes, I think that’s why I go in waves with reading - because I just don’t retain what I have read.
I went into this book thinking it would come back to me, but it never did. And my tastes must have changed since 2011, because I didn’t love this book this time around. It was ok, but I found myself getting anxious for it to be over so I could start something new.
This was a super clean YA read with Maze Runner vibes to it. It did take me a few chapters to feel like I actually knew what was going on, though.
There is a second book (that I also don’t remember) that I’ll probably listen to, just because I don’t like to leave a series unread.
