Crazy interesting.

This book is unique in a lot of ways. The way that it's formatted is unlike anything else I've ever read before, being the biggest one. It flips back and forth through time and POVs with a series of "prologs" that is quite interesting. I'm not sure where the author came up with such a format, but I suppose it works in this case.

The story is engaging and suspenseful, if at times a bit unbelievable in its gore and surgical procedures. Still, it was a rather fun read, and I'm intrigued by what must go on in Amy Cross' mind to come up with such a tale. ;)

I loved the storyline. It did feel drug out towards the end but was overall a decent read. There was a section that didn't really saw whose perspective you were reading but other than that it was easy to keep track of which perspective you were on. I don't really care for the ending and I think it could have been written better or just completely different.

One word - wow!

I feel as if I’ve lost my mind reading this. The whole thing is messed up but at the same time it’s so blooming clever that I found myself lost in the pages eager to find out what was happening and where the story was going... so clever and a massive mind ####, blooming brilliant!

Well that was weird. Usually I like weird but I found this disjointed and the characters one dimensional. In all it was rather a struggle to get through

I was really looking forward to reading this book. Unfortunately the missing words and repetitive scenes made it a very slow and laborious read.
The characters could have been great but we never got to know them on a deeper level. Usually a book has you loving one character over all the others but this was not one of those books.
And a lot of inconsistencies throughout the whole story. It was as though the author had so many different things to write about and rushed it.
I will try and read the remaining 2 in the series only because I've already purchased them

I seriously want to cuss out this book soooo bad....but I wont. To its credit, it started off well, I was interested, I was reading more to know more, but by the end, it was just a mess. I really felt as though I needed to be in an asylum to put up with the nonsensical, full-of-holes, dont-bother-to-explain-the-reasoning story I ended up with. What the actual F?

I'm not even sure what I just read.

This book seriously struggles to define itself. The author is so wrapped up in trying to be as disturbing as possible, that she forgets about just writing a good story. There are no redeeming qualities to any of the characters. There's no one to cheer for. Every single character in this story (with the exception of one, that we only get about 10 pages of) is without the capacity to love or be loved. There is no humanness to this book.

I'm even struggling to come up with a good enough review for the mess that is this book. My favorite genre of fiction is "horror/mystery/fantasy" (think Stephen King) - so I'm not new to reading about people killing other people. Or even people torturing other people. But this....this was an entirely different level. We are expected to believe that a psychiatric hospital that is used to treat patients that are sent over from the state, is never checked up on? No one ever cares to check on a single patient...ever?

I read this whole book shaking my head and rolling my eyes. The ONLY reason I read it all is because I did want to know what thin excuse the author would use to pull it all together. And it was. Thin, I mean. Paper thin.

And don't even get me started on the editing. Oy. This is the most poorly edited book I've read to date. And I've read a lot of books.

Don't bother with this book, unless you LITERALLY have nothing else to read.
