An Exciting Beginning

Summary

The new book that I am starting to read is called Lockdown and is written by Alexander Gordon. This story starts when Alex Sawyer, a teen age kid Tells that he is a kid with not much resources so he rob money for kids and he also stole houses when the owners were out of town. His next rob was going to be a house of two old people but when he and his friend Toby entered the house a group of people in black suits killed Toby and incriminated Alex. Every hint said that Alex was guilty so he was sent to a highly protected prison for young people called Furnace. This prison was underground and in there he met other kids who were incriminated as well and he met the man in charge, Warden Cross.

Interesting Thoughts Throughout The Book

“What´s the most scared you´ve ever been? Maybe at night, after a horror film, lying under your blankets convinced there´s a monster in the room…Multiply those feeling by a million and you get me wet running a fast as I could…to escape the people who had shot my best friend.” (Gordon 26)

I cannot imagine being in the position Alex is in. If I was him, I will probably go to see my mom and cry in her shoulder. I cannot imagine how desperate he is and that he cannot find somewhere to hide from what is happening.

“Beneath heaven is hell, boys, and beneath hell is Furnace. I hope you enjoy your stay.” (Gordon 59)

This were Warden Cross´ words when he send Alex in o Furnace. I will definitely be desperate and scared just by listening to does word. And, why will the boss be that mean to say something like that to the kid instead of encouraging him to be calm and do not cause trouble? What Class of person is this?

Final Ideas And Conclusions

I am already in the book waiting for what will happen next. I can compare this book to a series called Prison Break because in this series as in the book there is someone incriminated that goes to jail. I think that Alex is going to make some friends as well as enemies. He will be in trouble more than once and that he will need help. I cannot wait to know what is going to happen.
