Prose ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Dialogue ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Worldbuilding ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Characters ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Pacing ⭐⭐⭐ | Originality ⭐⭐⭐⭐
A gut punch of a novel, Chain-Gang All-Stars matches a well thought-out future world with a scathing indictment of the current carceral system in America. Go in expecting a beautiful, wrenching character study, examining the motivations and feelings of the imprisoned, those protesting the carceral system, the guards, the executives, and the fans.
Definitely a must-read.
