Title 'Lockdown'
Author Alexander Gordon Smith
Reviewed by Mrs Hanham
I found this novel to be violent which is to be expected as the series title says “Beneath Heaven Is Hell Beneath Hell Is Furnace”! It was fast moving and full of action.
Furnace is a prison, technically for delinquent boys but our main character, Alex has been set up for the murder of his best mate. He is convicted of his murder and sent to Furnace.
Furnace is a dark windowless building that no-one is freed from and no-one has escaped from.
It is a horrible cruel place to be, with the overseers showing no mercy and deformed large dogs roaming after lockdown, ready to devour anybody caught outside. Then there are the Wheezers who come for you at night. Then there are the gangs inside. Gripping, fearful story line. Will Alex survive?
Alex and his cell mate, Donovan devise a plan to escape……..
