Review
Praise for Escape from Furnace:
Fresh and ferocious . . . Will hook boys with its gritty, unrelenting surprises. James Patterson
Furnace is hotter than hell and twice as much fun! Sign me up for a life sentence of Alexander Gordon Smith! Darren Shan, author of the Demonata series
Uniquely horrifying. Realms of Fantasy
Gritty action and compelling characters will have reluctant readers enthralled. School Library Journal
Breathlessly paced and soaked with blood, mucus, and less savory substances. . . . Readers who relish lurid imagery . . . will continue to be riveted and left eager for the next disgust-o-rama episode. Booklist
A thrill ride that will leave the audience wanting more. Smiths prose is fast paced, witty, and sometimes downright terrifying. Some of the images he creates could manifest into a nightmare or two. Teens who are looking for a great thriller/horror story will definitely want to pick up these novels. VOYA
My biggest success story last year was when a student, a fifth year senior, attended a booktalk and couldnt wait to read Lockdown. It was the first book he read all the way through in five years of high school. I was privileged to get the galley from a conference for Solitary and gave it to him. I told him to keep the bookin less than a week he returned it to me in pristine condition and wanted more. Librarian, Washington High School, Sioux Falls, SD
