Publisher's summary

Welcome to the new and improved Joliet Prison. It has cleaner restrooms, better food and a better way of life for all it's inmates. Of course, Lyle Seigel is not impressed. He's doing a stretch for grand larceny. All he has now is time with the other degenerates that inhabit the prison. But when he gets roped into a cleanup crew, the prison starts to change in odd ways. Now Lyle must find a way to protect himself in a world he hardly recognizes.

Ohhh YES! Sooo Good!

Lyle Seigel, convicted of grand larceny, is sent to Joliet Prison … not the Joliet of days past … the new and allegedly improved Joliet of the future … it’s not long before Lyle’s stay gets … odd. When the Warden chooses Lyle for a “special” job … odd gets a whole new definition! Constantly surprising, completely engrossing and deeply mysterious, I became completely absorbed in this story! Filled with unique, convincing, beautifully defined characters, the story plays out smoothly, perfectly paced to draw this listener into an intriguing, edgy web … was it real … or was something truly nefarious afoot …. I’ll not be telling! What I will say is the writing is superb, the characters deep, the narration authentic, and beyond fabulous! This entire production is deserving of five fantastic stars. I loved it and I’m still shivering!

Prison story

Sometimes it was hard to understand the narrator. I felt that the story was thin. The characters need to be just describe a little better.

Excellent listen.

Fiction or fantasy , I totally enjoy the journey. This was an emotional but enjoyable listen that quickly drew me in and kept my rapt interest. I couldn't figure out if part of it was a dream or not , but it was well worth the time and you might learn something like I did. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest opinion. The narrator did an excellent job bringing the characters and story to life. I highly recommend this book.

Sensational

Really well written. The author knows how to seamlessly weave intrigue and uncertainty into every chapter. I was not expecting the ending.

This book was interesting.

The premise of this book was there, but the story focused too much on the wrong things. It’s a short book, but all the interesting things happen in the very last hour. Not really exploring characters other than the main and interesting bits are passing comments. No spoilers but what’s sounds like the most interesting part at the end is not experienced but told back to the main character. Now the narrator was awesome! Great voice, amazing characters and I would listen to more books by him.
