McGrath may even be an acquired taste, though not for me. I liked him immediately. That may be because I started off with the right book.

Then there was Charlie, Stella’s son. He was the real victim. The way his parents tried to influence him, and neither could recognise or do anything about their child’s sadness. They were too busy fighting with each other. This does not make either of the characters likeable. In fact, no one in this book was remotely likeable. The series follows sixteen-year-old Dan Crawford, who was chosen to attend a prestigious college preparatory summer program in New Hampshire. Once there he befriends two other teens, Abby and Jordan, with whom he explores an old psychiatric hospital that has been re-purposed into a student dormitory. However, what they find ends up drawing them into old and disturbing recurring events. In the way, they will uncover the secrets that link them to the terrifying things that happen inside the Asylum walls.Okay, I’m going to review this book from two different perspectives; as a social worker, and from a student.

Forse Follia lascia l’amaro in bocca perché tutti pagano le conseguenze dei loro comportamenti, delle loro mancanze e delle loro ossessioni e purtroppo, a farne maggiormente le spese è l’unico innocente di questo libro: Charlie, figlio di Stella e Max; vittima delle costanti ripicche e del costante disinteresse dei suoi genitori.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Edgar Stark is Cleave's patient, and Edgar's intelligence fascinates the doctor. Edgar murdered his wife and brutalized her body after suspecting her of multiple infidelities for many years. Edgar feels completely justified in his actions, and Cleave counts Edgar one of his more interesting patients because of this. It is only when Cleave observes subtle changes in Stella that he suspects the impossible. When Edgar escapes from the facility, Max and Stella both come under scrutiny, leading to a chain of events that is both disturbing and engrossing. Asylum is a New York Times bestselling young adult horror novel series by Madeleine Roux. [1] The series is composed of four novels, Asylum, Sanctum, Catacomb, and Escape from Asylum and three novellas: The Scarlets, The Bone Artists, and The Warden. Accompagnare Stella in questo viaggio, fa sentire i capelli spettinati, l’alito gelido della notte sul collo e l’acutezza vivida di stelle che riempiono un cielo estivo pulsante, attonito, pieno di promesse malate. This story is a warning: the mind can make bad plays when entering an underworld where nothing is what it seems and is experienced with it. There will always be consequences ... And they will not be pleasant at all Synopsis [ edit ] Asylum (2013) [ edit ] The books feature a written story accompanied by photographs that the series' characters uncover during the course of the story.
