Incarceron

De: Catherine Fisher

Narrado por: Kim Mai Guest

Incarceron is a prison unlike any other: Its inmates live not only in cells, but also in metal forests, dilapidated cities, and unbounded wilderness. The prison has been sealed for centuries, and only one man, legend says, has ever escaped.

Finn, a seventeen-year-old prisoner, can’t remember his childhood and believes he came from Outside Incarceron. He’s going to escape, even though most inmates don’t believe that Outside even exists. And then Finn finds a crystal key and through it, a girl named Claudia.

Claudia claims to live Outside—her father is the Warden of Incarceron and she’s doomed to an arranged marriage. If she helps Finn escape, she will need his help in return. But they don’t realize that there is more to Incarceron than meets the eye. Escape will take their greatest courage and cost far more than they know.

Loved this book

What did you love best about Incarceron?

the storyline was something not yet written about it was a great take on alternate reality, in a way that was understood as we have learned in history class period information and yet in the future which is not to far off.

Any additional comments?

my only issue is i had imagined the voice in my mind for the main female character to be more tough and not so broken and fairy like.

I love it!

The narration was pretty good, the story is by far one of my favorites, and the overall feel of this book is great.

Wonderful Story!

An absolutely great story with superior narration. This has been the most enjoyable audiobook I have listened to so far. I am looking forward to listening to the sequel!

Great Story

Loved this book, bought the second as soon as I finished the first. Its a great story for a multitude of ages.

good, but a little confusing

it was a good story but it was easy to get lost and it was pretty easy to get bored.
overall it was one of my all time favorites.
