Ramble review bcuz lazy + tired
Escape from furnace 3 death sentence 4/12/23-4/26/23, 5/5 I love zee I like how the author so masterfully switches from nectared up "alex" to alek, like Simon as always love to see the affection and clear comradery between them all esp Alex and zees friendship. Idk how I missed (in 8 grade)/forgot about the whole LITERAL eugenics things i guess I thought they were just making big strong guys or something. Idk ummm really good book the author did not hold back any punches like the stuff contained in this book is so scary and brutal and like... not sanitized like it feels insane that this is a kids book

Rather monotonous in the first half, incredibly fast-paced toward the end!

My god, this book never gets old. It starts off right where book 2 ends, Alex is on his death bed and the Warden is loving every second of it. Alex is..... transformed and has to find a way to save himself and his friends. This book is extremely fast paced as after about a fourth of the book, it is non stop action.
The Good: Everything, seriously this book has so many good things about it that I can't list all of it without just spewing spoilers.
The Bad: Huge change of tempo and character in who the form of Alex, Alex is still the kid from the 2nd book but my oh my he is a different beast (no pun intended) in this book, and does have some points where there is crazy action then a small section of nothing happening but is not really noticeable.
Read this book, the first two might make this series look like a thriller of a group of small helpless kids, this book flips those thoughts on its head.

Hodnocení: 4,5/5 ✩
Je skoro až neuvěřitelné, že se autorovi mohlo po předchozích dvou dílech podařit, dostat do třetího dílu ne jen víc napětí, ale i akce. Avšak je tomu přesně tak. Rozsudek smrti je jízda, od začátku až do konce. Autor tak dává čtenáři jasně na srozuměnou, že je třeba s ním počítat ne jen v rámci žánru krimi thriller, ale i sci-fi. Jeho knihy jsou ne jen originální, se sympatickými postavami a mají spád, ale není nouze ani o vypjaté situace nebo nečekané zvraty.
Sama se už moc těším, na další knihy.

Just when I thought Alex had no hope or strength left inside of him, the author renewed my hope in this story. When we last saw Alex he was burning in the incinerator. He had been pulled from the flames by the Black Suits and taken to the lab -- a lab that holds even more evil than we have seen so far. The Warden has decided to make Alex into one of them. The Alex of old will be nothing but a memory and a new but stronger Alex will emerge.
I finally understood the meaning of remembering your name when captured by the Black Suits. It actually does make sense once you get to book three. What Alex is turned into is a stronger and darker side of his true self. We also learn about how Alfred Furnace invented the Nectar and his reasoning in creating Furnace Penitentiary. Involving WWII and Nazi history within the horrors of Furnace Hell, plots are revealed and surprises are around every corner. I loved the return of previous characters and the mental strength that Alex realizes he has had. Has Furnace created their perfect monster, or have they created their own terror they can't control?
An amazing addition to the series that is quickly gaining attention from readers everywhere! I can't wait for the next book in the series that features Alex as a fugitive on the run from Alfred Furnace!
