Review of 'Escape' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Read on the Kindle, this book suffered from some layout bugs which meant it was difficult sometimes to quite follow what was going on: scene changes flowed on from previous paragraphs without a single break, jumping from the present to past in a very confusing manner.

The book itself is fascinating, giving a peek inside a Thai prison from someone who has, indeed, been there. You get a feeling of the atmosphere inside the jail: probably not as clear as I'd have liked, but interesting nonetheless. The actual breakout is nicely obfuscated until it actually happens, so you don't quite know how he will do it.

A good, mostly gripping, yarn.
