DISCLAIMER -  I read this text as a set text for university meaning I did not pick this up for myself. It does not necessarily fit my usual reading selection so my review may be rather biased. 

Repetitive and dull. The protagonist repeated the same actions over and over again and didn’t seem to have any development at all.

There is writing of a prison escape that lasts for multiple pages; it’s drawn out, like a lot of this book, and is just not entertaining.

Even if this book is meant to be an analysis of justice, I really think it could have been written with a more interesting plot and selection of characters.
