Captured my attention right from the start. Quick read! Very interesting concept... The main character, Parker, is telling the story via blog posts after events have happened. It makes the story have a very realistic feeling to it, although there is definitely a supernatural element to the tale. I would have liked a little more at the end regarding details, which is why I didn't give it 5 stars. But it is certainly worth reading. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for providing me with the digital ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. This was a WOW factor book for me. Kind of made me feel like I was reading a Stephen King novel. Creepy, supernatural, horror read. The plot the story line, Was amazingly written! aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"In a series of online posts, Parker H., a young psychiatrist, chronicles the harrowing account of his time working at a dreary mental hospital in New England. Through this internet message board, Parker hopes to communicate with the world his effort to cure one bewildering patient. We learn, as Parker did on his first day at the hospital, of the facility's most difficult, profoundly dangerous case-a 40-year-old man who was originally admitted to the hospital at age six. This patient has no known diagnosis. His symptoms seem to evolve over time. Every person who has attempted to treat him has been driven to madness or suicide. Desperate and fearful, the hospital's directors keep him strictly confined and allow minimal contact with staff for their own safety, convinced that releasing him would unleash catastrophe on the outside world. Parker, brilliant and overconfident, takes it upon himself to discover what ails this mystery patient and finally cure him. But from his first encounter with the mystery patient, things spiral out of control and, facing a possibility beyond his wildest imaginings, Parker is forced to question everything he thought he knew. Fans of Sarah Pinborough's Behind Her Eyes and Paul Tremblay's The Cabin at the End of the World will be riveted by Jasper DeWitt's astonishing debut"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I loved the mean Dr, even though you weren’t supposed to, I thought he was fun and I loved how short he was with Parker for no reason. ( )
