This was so strange and unsettling and creative and I'm not sure WHAT to think, but I liked it even though I felt creeped out the entire time. It felt like those dreams you have about waking up and going about your day only to wake up for real later on.

Once you get used to the dreaminess, it's not half bad. Not entirely horror, there's no supernatural or paranormal. Definitely kinda creepy. The location was interestng and I liked the plot twists. The finale was very sudden but in context I can understand why.

I liked the variety of characters and rotating view points. I think it was pretty well written. I don't know how accurate the prisons parts were but you know, it's fiction.
