While the main character is pretty naive and HER perspective makes the story a little fuzzy. Its the epilogue that makes the entire story worth it! The overall story is predictable, the "twist" isn't completely unexpected- and the "monster" is exactly who you expect. I wish we had spent more time at the prison dealing with the actual premise, but whatever. For a quick and easy read it's not bad and keeps you thinking.
