Woman 99 by Greer Macallister

Did not finish book. Stopped at 34%.
 
Sadly I was only about to get about 34% into this book. It's just not holding my interest and it should be its a thriller and has a history. But there's just something about it that isn't working for me. Part of it I think is because I already know quite a bit about institutions that were to treat women, and how they were really just a dropping off point for people who didn't want to deal with them. Because of that I just can't deal with someone willingly going in and thinking they will save their sister from the inside. It's just not believable and I just don't have an interest in it because of how the sister is just so naive and just unbelievable when it comes to not knowing certain things when it comes to her sister, yet she thinks she's going to be the savior of her this time. 

While this book will work for people who don't know a lot about the institutions and how hard it was to get people in and out of them once they were in. 

However, I will say I did like how they showed the darker side of life in the institutions and how the women were treated by the nurses. This part was realistic, but still with that Charlotte still believed she would be able to convince the director and the nurses that her and her sister shouldn't be there.  I just can't do it personally.
