BookNook Young Adult book reviewsI really wanted to enjoy this book because I love the idea of it, but I just kept waiting for that moment when it would get good, and it never came. It wasn't really horrible, but it never got interesting; it never piqued my interest; and I never felt invested in the story or characters.In some ways, I feel like nothing really happened in Prison Nation . The plot is exactly as you would expect it to be with no surprises, no twists, no turns, and no excitingI just finished Jenni Merritt's debut novel this morning and have to say it has the makings of just a "beginning" - the way it ended, while kind of low-key, was also vaguely epic, or rather it spoke of much epicness to come. Basically, I think there should be a sequel. Before I get onto that in more detail, I'll briefly mention the story itself.

Her mother

There were certain points that made me cry.Does this book have a sequel? Well, I am just a little bit disturbed in the end. I mean what's the point of going through all that if they're going to turn their back against that rusty door? They're already there, they barely made it there, and theyve lost Eddie in the
Prison Nation is a fantastic idea.What would America be like if it sealed its boarders and the punishment for crimes (and even suspected crimes) became so harsh that the Nation needed massive prisons, large enough to house thousands and thousands of people?You can find out, just by picking up this book.Millie, our female protagonist experiences a significant personal journey throughout the book, but she does start out a little flat. I quite liked how things progressed, but I'd have liked a
