“But every hospital, even one with patients like these, has at least one inmate who’s weird even for the mental ward. I’m talking about the kind of person whom even the doctors have given up on and whom everyone gives a wide berth, no matter how experienced they are. This type of patient is obviously insane, but nobody knows how they got that way.”

The Patient was a seriously edge of your seat, freaky, scary, and messed up book. Right from the beginning it was crazy and insane, but the author wrote in such a way that even though you were freaked out you wanted to know more. This book is told in entries on a forum online, we learn of the past leading right up to the present. I thought this was going to be a thriller, which it was, but let me tell you it has a lot of aspects for horror fans. Some parts had me so shook up and scared, I seriously had to sleep with the lights on.

Dr.Parker our main character starts working at a mental facility somewhere in Connecticut, he has always wanted to help people because he couldn’t help his mom who has schizophrenia. His first day on the job he finds out about a patient who has been in this hospital since he was six years old. He becomes fascinated with trying to figure out what Joe’s problems are and to find a cure and let him out. Every doctor who has tried to help Joe has either gone insane themselves or has committed suicide. I can’t even begin to explain what kind of wild, messed up roller coaster of a ride this book was, but I loved every minute of it. I don’t want to go into too much detail about what happens, but it’s a really fast paced read that has you questioning everything.
