Incarceron

Incarceron is a book written by Catherine Fisher.Some of you may know her from her Oracle triologies.The book was publised on the year 2007 in the United King and it finally reached the united States in the year of  2010.It became one of New York children bestseller for some time.It recieve a lot of positive reviews praising on it's imaginative story and detail.

The High and Low
.I thought that the author had definitely smart when she decided to focus on two characters switching their focus from chapter to chapter athing that I thought should have been use in the Hunger Games.
.Incarceron is well explained and full of details that never made me bored like in Dragonhaven
.I loved on how the author put a an exercpt on each chapter.Yes Cornelia Funke did this too on Inkheart but these excerpt are original not taken from a book but created from her story for her story.

The bad
.While some critics praised it's ending I felt that the ending was a little bit predictable.

Quick summary
There are two main characters in the one is Finn and the other one is Claudia.Finn is stuck in Incarceron(a big prison)and he thinks he's from the outside so he tried to escape from the prison with help from Keiro(his oath brother)Atiia and Gildas.While Claudia is from the outside she has no freedom she is the daughter of the warden(the warden is the one who look after the prison)and she has to marry a very spoiled prince so these two people try to find their freedom.As Finn and his companions travel deeper to find a way out the incarceron  kept trying to stop them(the prison is somewhat alive) while Claudia and her instructor Jared tried to..............................................End of summary

The conclusion
Incarceron is a great book to read.The story was told by the perspective of two great characters who seemed to have more in common than they thought contented for example it shows that Finn struggles to remember who he was and hope to live an easy live with no worry about money or time while Claudia determination to end the protocol will probably strip all her richness and lifestyle away as she only wants freedom.Yes they both felt trapped and wished that they could be free while perhaps you may think that Claudia's life may be the lesser of two evil yet in the truth she has less freedom than Finn.With the perspective of these characters you may find it a little refreshing because both characters had a somewhat different theme so when we read thechapters where it had  Finn as the main characters you may find the story more on the adventurous type of book while Claudia's story had more humour and a bit fairy tale style in it.While the ending did struck a sour note for it's ending which I felt a disappointment.Both stories were very good,the combination was nice and I will definitely say that Incarceron is a very worthwhile book to read.

Rating:8 out of 10.
