What Risingshadow readers think about this book

10/10

I read Escape from Hell! a while ago. I loved it from the start and it is definetely one of my favourite books all time. Duncan is amazing writer and he really knows what he does. Plot, characters and implementation were wonderfull. There wasn't anything unfinished. Books world were thoroughly created - it was almost too realistic. It made me feel the depths of human nature, the bad and the unjustice. And that's because it was amazing. It was so realistic.

Character's were as realistic as everything else in the book. I loved them - even the ones that annoyed me. There wasn't anything black and white, everything were in every shades of grey. Character's were like real persons: people who lives next door or who you meet in supermarket. I want to bring up expecially Matthew, Seven and Lucifer. They were my absolute favourite characters. And I liked that Duncan wrote about homosexual character. It's refreshing. It's really shame that there's so little homosexual character's in literature, expecially homosexual main characters. Points for that to Duncan!

I have very little words for this book. Read it. Yes, it's really realistic. Yes, there's no romance in it. Yes, sometimes it's even too sickening. Still, read it. It's amazing and I loved every single page of it. It's brilliant and Duncan is genious. I really hope that there'll sequels as Duncan has said.
