The title of the book I read was called “Lockdown: Escape From Furnace” created by Alexander Gordon Smith. The lockdown was published on March 5, 2009, and consist of 237 pages. Lockdown is a thriller which is about a young teenager trying to survive and escape the horror of “The Furnace” a maximum-security prison deep underground for young offenders filled with psychopaths and gangs while showing a dark, gory, scary reaction to the readers, while shill showing some humor to the book.
The book starts off with the main protagonist named Alex Sawyer grew up in a bad neighborhood and would rob people off the street and steal from houses.
