***** SPOILER ALERT *****
This review will be discussing plot points which may be considered spoilers. Consider yourselves warned.
I have gotten my hot little hands on a copy of Acid, the first novel from author Emma Pass. The author is from the Midlands, UK, and her European roots come out in certain word choices and, of course, measurements. Fortunately for Therefore I Geek readers, I have read the book and am here to lay out the good, the bad, and the ugly about it.
The Good: The main character in this book is one Jenna Strong, who is in a maximum security, male only prison at the tender age of seventeen for parricide. The book is set in 2113, in a UK that is completely cut off from the rest of the world. A lackadaisical government has been thrown out of power by an anti-terrorist arm of the military/police force called ACID (Agency for Crime Investigation and Defense) and a police state has been in place for about 100 years. As far as the good of this book goes, the well designed acronym is pretty much all it has to offer. That, and the perfect use of the subjunctive tense.
