This book was recommended to me so I thought I would try and read it Saying it's the spooky Halloween month so this book starts out with a guy thinking he is crazy and And then he Start telling us a storythis book was So scary in places a horrifying, dark, bleak asylum: a young idealist psychiatrist who suffers from guilt trips because of his inability to cure his own mother, becomes a volunteer to treat a real dangerous patient who has been ruining/haunting and ending the lives of the people try to cure him.
Every mental hospital has that one odd, interesting case, and at the nameless New England hospital where Parker works, that patient is Joe, who has been there for over 30 years with no official diagnosis. Fueled by the idea that there’s no one who should be forgotten
I don't know how I feel about this book I don't know how I feel about this book Not usually a book I would read

This really had moments that terrified me, especially when I was faced with a human monster. The supernatural twist at the end just absolutely destroyed it for me, it almost became comical with how it wrapped up. Although I will say the very last bit had me questioning if it really ended in how the Doc thought it did… what about that crooked grin?

I’d give this 2.5 stars. I thought the story seemed promising and was definitely unsettling, but I feel like the ending of this story was just really mediocre. Maybe because I had, in my mind, expected this to be more thriller than horror. It’s definitely spooky but I feel like it would be scarier as a movie. Fast-paced read though, I love that the whole book is just blog posts.

This book was interesting I wasn’t expecting the ending. I also wasn’t expecting this book to be paranormal. Glad I listened to it as an audio book, the narrator was great and not cringy which was good.

The story is told through multiple postings on a medical for medical professionals. We follow a young doctor, Parker, as he works with Joe--a patient who has been there since he was six years old. Joe has been deemed as incurable, but Parker vows to change that.

it was loving it... until I realized that the plot twist was going to be something supernatural.

Because the book is so short, it was definitely a page turner because I knew I could finish it quickly and the concept is really engaging. However, there really wasn't a twist. The end was predictable and didn't provide much surprise or relief. I did enjoy it though, not bad, not great.
