I will give this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Synopsis: Parker H., a young psychiatrist, chronicles the harrowing account of his time working at a dreary mental hospital in New England. As Parker did on his first day at the hospital, of the facility’s most challenging, profoundly dangerous case—a forty-year-old man who has initially been admitted to the hospital at age six name Joe. Every person who has attempted to treat him has been driven to madness or suicide. Therefore he was placed in strict confinement with limited staff contact until, of course, Parker decided he wants to be involved.
First off, I thought this would be my usual psychological thriller, but boy, I was wrong. I devoured this book in just one sitting, covered with angst and inquisitive mind. The story was written in a blog-like form, making it very easy to follow. It made me feel like I was with Parker shadowing him and all. I was like wtf is wrong with this Joe guy, and I even started to put a few diagnoses of my own out of what I learned in a couple of psychology and behavioral science classes I took. I know I was crazy, but this book is 200 pages of deranged, gruesome, wth kind of story. From start to finish, I was holding my breath. I mean, I know I am a fraidy cat when it comes to horror stories, but for some reason, I am still drawn to it. This book made me want to question science even more. The writing is spot on. Characters are great. And the ending is excellent. I highly recommend it!
