5.0 out of 5 stars
Best in the series so far.,
By
This review is from: Furnace 3: Death Sentence (Paperback)
This third book in the Furnace series was riveting. Once started you do not want to put it down, and yet part of you wants to take your time because book 4 is not out yet, and a timeline for the final in the series, book 5, has not even been whispered. Alexander Gordon Smith has created a riveting series that feels like a roller coaster ride through a house of horrors. Beneath Heaven is Hell and beneath Hell is Furnace, as we discovered in book 2, Solitary. Beneath Furnace is the warden's private playground. Or more correctly the warden's lab, for the warden himself is just a puppet to the dark sinister Alfred Furnace. But what can be worse than hell? In these books we find out.In Lockdown Alex Sawyer escaped from furnace; in Solitary he escaped from solitary confinement, orchestrated a devastating attack against the guards and almost climbed to freedom. Escaping once had infuriated the warden, escaping a second time had almost enraged him. Now Alex and his friends, Zee and Simon, are guinea pigs or subjects for the terrifying Wheezers' experiments. They are pumping a dark and terrible liquid into his veins, trying to turn Alex into one of them. Alex has two options - to die during the process or to become a creature of Furnace. And yet there might be a third option. He has been told that if they catch him to remember his name. Can he hold on with so much darkness swirling around in his blood and with the pain of the experiments being done on him? This book is an excellent read, the characters well written, the story compelling and intoxicating. You find yourself rooting for Alex and his gang and hoping for the downfall of the Furnace prison system. But what can a few ragtag prisoners really do against an old evil trying to regain power again? Read the "Escape from Furnace" books and find out.

Three is the magic number!,

This review is from: Furnace 3: Death Sentence (Paperback)
Another rollercoaster read from Alexander Gordon Smith! The latest entry in his exhilarating `Furnace' series is also the darkest. Set in a nightmarish prison for young offenders (where `death is the least of your worries', as the tagline has it) `Death Sentence' takes us deep into the prison's ghoulish underbelly - to terrifying effect.Psychologically, this is probably the most intriguing book so far, as our young hero Alex gets up close and personal with the hideous Warden, learning some of Furnace prison's deepest, darkest secrets. And, believe me, they really are dark. But the book stays just the right side of scary, with plenty of banter between the young inmates, as it builds to its jaw-dropping climax... Smith knows this world inside-out by now, with its cast of (increasingly) colourful characters, and the writing is both high-octane, as always, and totally believable. In short - this is fantastically inventive and creepy stuff, with some mind-blowing action scenes and an ending that will leave you practically salivating for book four... Once again, Smith comes up with the goods.
