This book has such an intriguing premise. A prison that is alive and intelligent. The hopes of transforming the criminals of society through access to the best of everything and creating a paradise, but something goes wrong. It sounds so good! 
 But then the characters are introduced and I didn't find myself connecting with any of them. The most intriguing parts are about the prison itself. When the focus is away from that I found myself very disinterested. 
 Maybe I went in with too high of expectations. It was voted as one of the top ten favorite books by the teens of my library system. I expected to be wowed. And I found myself to just thinking "eh" for most of the book. I'm going to read the sequel. Hopefully the characters draw me in a little more. Keiro has potential. 
 Overall reaction to the book:
