Another solid entry in the series that expands the story further.

After two failed escape attempts Alex is caught and the warden decides to send him to the infirmary to be experimented upon an injected with the mysterious liquid carried by the wheezers.

It's here that his transformation into one of the blacksuits begins, and his inner rage builds. Will he be able to control and hold onto himself or will the warden's darkness win?

In this installment we also learn some more of the background into the Furnace and Alex finally gets out.

Looking forward to the next in the series to see where the adventure goes next. ( )

After his failed attempt to escape from Furnace Penitentiary, Alex struggles to survive the bloodstained laboratories beneath where monsters are manufactured, with a death sentence--or worse--hanging over his head.

Escape from Furnace Death Sentence, by Alexander Gordon Smith is about a boy named Alex Sawyer who is locked away in furnace penitentiary, a maximum security prison for the younger generations, for a crime that Alex didn't commit and is being framed for. Alex, Zee, and Simon, are trapped in the prison and thinking of a way to escape after there third escape attempt had failed. The warden holds Alex and his friends hostage and injects venom into Alex's body, making him much stronger and turned him into a black suit. But Alex finds the strength to gain control of his mind as the venom was supposed to control all of him. The warden tries to convince Alex that he never existed and that he was a black suit now and worked for the warden. I would recommend this book to people who like action and mystery and those people would like this book.

book 3 in the series ( )

Love this series. The first book was amazing, second was very good, and now this one is just awesome. It started out a little slow, but very interesting to be in the mind of a killer. Once the action started I couldn't put this one down. Totally nailed the ending of this book. It was happy, sad, exciting, and terrifying all wrapped into one. Can't wait for book 4. Recommend this series to any fan of YA or action/adventure novels. 10/10 stars ( )
