is good up until the last few chapters, which kinda ruins some of the ideas earlier in the book. Even if you apply the "they were lying to you" logic it still doesn't make sense as a whole. 

I don't mind the prison idea it can work given the context but everything after that is bad. Just another note, that the ending leading into the start, making it a cycle just underminds the impact of the unmasking chapter (per day seven).
