Life inside The Loop-the futuristic death row for teens under eighteen-is one long repetitive purgatory. But when news of the encroaching chaos in the outside world reaches the inmates and disorder begins to strike, the prison becomes the least of their worries.

It's Luka Kane's sixteenth birthday and he's been inside The Loop for over two years. Every inmate is serving a death sentence with the option to push back their execution date by six months if they opt into "Delays", scientific and medical experiments for the benefit of the elite in the outside world. But rumors of a war on the outside are spreading amongst the inmates, and before they know it, their tortuous routine becomes disrupted. The government issued rain stops falling. Strange things are happening to the guards. And it's not long until the inmates are left alone inside the prison.

Were the chains that shackled Luka to his cell the only instruments left to keep him safe? He must overcome fellow prisoners hell-bent on killing him, the warden losing her mind, the rabid rats in the train tunnels, and a population turned into murderous monsters to try and break out of The Loop, save his family, and discover who is responsible for the chaos that has been inflicted upon the world

"Everything is as it should be."

A relação de amor e ódio com livros que terminam com um cliffhanger.

Não consegui parar de ler esse livro, a escrita me envolveu e os personagens secundários só acrescentaram na história. A história tem algumas reviravoltas, umas já dão para esperar e outras nem tanto. Ainda fico com o pé atrás com muita coisa. Tem uma vibe Black Mirror.

Uma coisa que não faz sentido mesmo depois de explicado é o porque alguém ia escolher continuar no Loop só para ser torturado, nem esperança inata humana faria alguém continuar ali(ou no Block).

Os pontos ruins do livro foram:
- Capítulos ENORMES, isso cansava um pouco
- Algumas descrições eram demais, não precisava daquilo
- Muita coisa no sistema político e prisional não faz sentido nenhum
