The Traitors by Tom Becker - A Book Review

~*~*Note: This is my first time doing a book review. Book report, sure. Done plenty of those. But book review? Let's wing it. So could you please please give me feedback on how to improve this? Thanks a bunch :)*~*~ 

Recently I picked up this book called "The Traitors" by Tom Becker. Let's get into the review before I start ranting and spoil everything :P

Adam Wilson has been caught kissing his best friend's girlfriend. The next day, he is sentenced to two hundred and seventy four years in the Dial, a special prison located in a dimension called "no-time", where a blink of an eye on Earth isn't even close to a couple of centuries in the Dial. Besides this factor, the Dial was specially made for people like Adam: traitors. Everyone in the Dial has betrayed someone. Life in the Dial can get pretty rough, and everyday it's a fight for survival, and escape...

Overall, this book was pretty good. The plot was hands-down fan-freaking-tastic. From the whole idea of the prison to all the characters, it had me on a roller-coaster ride 'till the end. And all the backstories and...don't even get me started, I'll be ranting for ages. Doughnut (one of the inmates) was my favourite character. Look out for him, he's a good lad ;)

Right. Now for the part I thought was absolutely terrible. Click the button below.

WHAT THE EVEN HECK ADAM WHY THE HECK DID YOU STAY WITH JESSICA ARE YOU CRAZY?! //takes deep breath// Okay, sorry 'bout that. But, Adam. ARE YOU STUPID. First of all, even if you're in love with her, SHE BETRAYED YOUR BUDDY. Ever heard of "pals before gals"? Secondly, you're stuck there forever. Sure, you're stuck with the girl you love, and you'll never age and blah blah blah. One small problem. Remember earlier when it was mentioned that The Quisling had broken down? Well. WHERE ARE YOU GONNA GET FOOD FROM, HUH? HUH? Whatchu gonna do when you eat all the food in the pantry?

    That book sounds really interesting, since getting sent to the Dial seems like a relatively easy thing to do, don't you think?
