I got this book as present. At first glance I thought that it would be rather boring. However I decided I would give it a try and read the first couple of days, (there is a different entry each day and each day is divided up into different time sections) after that I simply could put it down.
The book is extremely enlightening as to the conditions of an A category prison in this instance Belmarsh. For instance the fact that the prisoners are 'banged up' for more than 20 hours a day this came as a shock to me and another quite startling fact was the amount of drugs inside the prison and the lengths prisoners would go to, to keep them secret. Over 60% of the prisoners were on drugs while in prison and another fact that is brought out in it that a prisoners meals for a day are prepared out of 1.20 per day.
The outline basically follows Jeffery Archer’s day-by-day account of prison life. The reason that I found this book so captivating was that everyday had its own new and exiting adventure or new testimony of a fellow prisoner while still following a main story throughout.
The book is extremely well written and keeps your attention through out. I would recommend this book to everyone as it has appeal to many different genres, for example mystery, violence and adventure.
I honestly think that this is one of the best diaries you will every read. Even if you are not normally into reading I feel that this book would still defiantly appeal to you as it has so many unique qualities to it.
