Review

Rick is wrongfully committed to the Brookline asylum because his parents think he is a deviant and the asylum can cure him of his evil ways. Confronted with evil experiments, ghosts and hauntings of the asylum, Rick actually thinks he is losing his mind. This is the fourth book of the "Asylum" series and helps piece together the first three books. Creeping and extremely difficult to put down. Recommended for grades 10 and up.

The photos in the book add to the descriptions of what Rick is seeing and increases the creeping feeling you get as you read along. Well developed characters and extremely deepening plot as the story progresses. Highly recommended for fans of the series.

Overall Book Score: excellent
