Michael Vey the Prisoner of Cell 25 was written by Richard Paul Evans. He is the author of many other bestselling books on the New York Times list. Including but not limited to The Christmas Box and The Walk series. He belongs to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Currently he is continuing to write and live happily in Salt Lake City, Utah with his wife and five children. The titles of books are very important. Sometimes they give you insight of the deeper meaning of the book or simply sum up the whole book. In this case the title of the book foreshadows an event that will happen later in the book. I think the author choose this title because it showcases a big event and catches potential readers eyes.

Prisoner b-3087 has transformed me in some inexplicable ways. It made me appreciate everything from a house to a toothbrush. The book made me feel that I should not complain about loading the dishwasher once every day. I learned that Jews in world war 2 were woken up by being hit with clubs at six in the morning, limited to 300 calories a day, and worked to death.
