Incarceron

Incarceron by Catherine Fisher

Summary (taken from SLJ)
Finn is a 17-year old prisoner of Incarceron. His memories begin and end there. He knows nothing about his heritage except for vague memories that tease at his mind. The teen is determined to escape the prison fashioned centuries ago as a solution to the chaos created by man. Now Incarceron is self-sustaining and self-perpetuating—prisoners are born there and they die there. Legend claims only one man has ever escaped, Sapphique, and Finn is determined to follow in his steps.

Personal Thoughts
In the beginning, I had a hard time following what was going on.  I felt very confused.  However, after awhile (perhaps about 50 pages), I found myself wrapped up in Finn's world and then Claudia's.  I thought this adventure was well-paced, thought-provoking, and exciting.  I can't wait for the sequel, Sapphique, to come out in December.
