The cover, the title The Patient, so simple so ominous. I was hooked at the introduction and and as I read further the tension kept building. This would make a great movie!!. Author is so descriptive I can actually feel and see the depressing setting of the hospital and grounds. The lead character is young, naive, and cocky. He will be going up against a patient that scares the hell out of me. I am going to be keeping my fingers crossed on this one. The setting reminded me of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest or an old black and white horror movie. A definite buy.
