The Siege (A Psychological Thriller) by James Hanna is a fiction novel that follows a prison take over. The Siege (A Psychological Thriller) by James Hanna is a book that will appeal most to an audience of adults who enjoy prison fiction with all of its raw grittiness. The Siege (A Psychological Thriller) by James Hanna takes place in The Indiana Penal Farm where one hundred prisoners hold twelve guards hostage in the laundry room. In an attempt to defuse the situation without any loss of life, a dorm counselor, Tom Hemmings, has been brought in to talk the prisoners down. However, with the inmates divided in to different gangs and tension building quickly will Tom Hemmings be able to keep everyone alive and safe?


The Siege (A Psychological Thriller) by James Hanna was a well-written psychological thriller with a realistic feel. While the book itself is fiction, it is clear that the author has done research into prisons due to the realistic feel of the inmates and the prison environment. The Siege (A Psychological Thriller) by James Hanna reminded me a lot of the negotiator with the hostage situation and emergency services relying on one person to save the day. I found Tom Hemmings to be my favorite character, he was well developed over the course of the book, and I liked his determination in the face of uncertainty and danger. Overall, I greatly enjoyed reading The Siege (A Psychological Thriller) by James Hanna and I enjoyed the fast pace and realistic feel of the plot!
