Well, this book is disturbing. On many fronts. First, Anais would fit right in as a character in "Infinite Jest". This novel does not let up and is not for the feint of heart. This book is filled with violence and foul language; disturbed teens doing disturbing things to other disturbed teens an...
I'm embarrassed to admit it, but when I bought it, I thought "The Panopticon" was a Young Adult, Urban Fantasy, Rites of Passage book: a comfortable read, an escape from reality, an opportunity to bask in a young person's accomplishments in the face of difficult odds. So strongly did I have this ...
I’m just a girl with a shark’s heart. Ming-fucking-mong.I don’t necessarily know what that means (can anyone really trust urbandictionary nowadays?) or if I actually understood what Anais was talking about half the time but if there’s one thing I’m certain, my cuss vocabulary expanded a few pages mo...

I've tried to come up with a way to review this book and the best I've been able to figure out is listing what I don't think this book is, rather than what it is-~This book isn't appealing, feasible or entertaining.~This book isn't about a girl who beats the system or even the system.~This book isn'...
The one thing that will impress the reader the most upon finishing The Panopticon is the pervading sense of injustice. While most legal systems consider a suspect innocent until proven guilty, the court officers assigned to Anais’ case never even flirt with the possibility that she might be innocent...
When The Panopticon showed up in my Indiespensable box, of course I poked around and found that karen had given it a glowing review, so I was excited. I was slightly less excited the more I read. For sure The Panopticon is well written and the use of dialect paints an impressive and informative pict...
What the hell was that? It went from furious to terrifying then dark then darker. Sometimes, it was all those things all at once. (I think I liked it) Except how I liked this one at all is a wonder considering the lead was doing one terrifying thing to others or worse, to herself, from one moment to...
