Chain Gang All Stars

Looking at the today's economics of private prisons and the continuous escalation of media sensationalism, the book's premise of prisoner death matches, feels like a not-too-improbable future. It's Hunger Games meets American Gladiators meets Big Brother meets Battle Royal. Told through a kaleidoscope of maybe too many eyes.

There were a few instances where I wanted the book to just SPELL IT OUT instead of characters or the narration keeping things vague.
I also wanted more numbers! If every week or so almost half of the chain gangs die, there needs to be an intense supply chain of new fighters.
