The story is told as if it's posts on a blog. Each chapter is a new post. The reader follows Parker, a confident psychologist fresh out of college who thinks he can cure the incurable patient, Joe.
Joe is a forty year old man who's been there since he was six. He was originally admitted for night terrors, but the doctors soon realize it's something more than that. All the people who work or room with Joe end up mentally unstable. Some kill themselves, some end up having to be admitted into the hospital themselves. Joe knows things about other people. Things he shouldn't know about their past. He knows what scares them.
Joe thinks he can handle it. Besides, his biggest fear is not being able to help someone so the worst that can happen is he doesn't find a cure for Joe, right?
As I read this one, I had a desperate need to find out what was going on. I didn't want to put it down. Sometimes I felt it dragged out too much waiting to get me in the know. Of course, if I knew at the beginning then there'd really be no point in continuing, right? When I finished and knew what was going on, I had to sit for a minute as I took it in. Woah! It was a great book.
