Incarceron was a very interesting book. It is set in either an alternate universe or the future and centers around a prison called Incarceron. Only one person has ever escaped, but that doesn't stop Finn from trying to figure out his past and escape. Claudia is the warden's daughter who has been raised in the lap of luxury and is soon going to marry a prince and become Queen. I thought it was a pretty good book, although a little predictable. It is very intense, and I read it in two sittings as I could hardly put it down. It took me a while to figure out exactly what was going on in the beginning, as Fisher does not put enough background in. (at least for my preferences). It really is a fascinating book. It is Fantasy mixed with Sci Fi, which is an interesting blend. All in all, I thought this was a pretty good book. I would not read it again, though. I recommend this book to middle school students and high school students who enjoy fast paced fantasy novels. There is a sequel out, but I don't think I will be reading it.
Happy Holidays!
