What It’s About: from official blurb:
Welcome to Chain-Gang All-Stars – the highly popular, highly controversial profit-raising program inside America’s private prison system. Harkening back to the time of gladiators, but watched by millions of live-stream subscribers, prisoners compete for the ultimate prize: their freedom.
Thoughts: I’m not sure what to think but would state that this is a great example of fictionalizing an important topic and hitting ALL the issues of what makes humans “human” – so aggravatingly complex.
Rating: I gave it 5 slices of pie. Though not quite what you would call an “enjoyable” read, it is memorable and sobering, illuminating and full of love as well as violence..
