Asylum

By: Madeleine Roux

Narrated by: Michael Goldstrom

Once you get in, there's no getting out.

For 16-year-old Dan Crawford, a summer program for gifted students is the chance of a lifetime. No one else at his high school gets his weird fascinations with history and science, but at the New Hampshire College Prep program, such quirks are all but required.

Dan arrives to find that the usual summer housing has been closed, forcing students to stay in the crumbling Brookline dorm - formerly a psychiatric hospital. As Dan and his new friends, Abby and Jordan, start exploring Brookline's twisty halls and hidden basement, they uncover disturbing secrets about what really went on here - secrets that link Dan and his friends to the asylum's dark past. Because it turns out Brookline was no ordinary psych ward. And there are some secrets that refuse to stay buried.

This mind-bending listening experience blurs the lines between past and present, friendship and obsession, genius and insanity.

Idea

I really enjoyed the idea of this book. But I feel it needed to be a bit more developed personally. This book is perfect for younger thrill seekers.

gripping

good plot twists. liked the characters and naration. I look forward to listening to the rest of the books in the series.

Overall a good book

Overall I enjoyed this book. It started off a little slow for me , but the ending was very intense and interesting and definitely kept my attention! I would recommend this book.

Great story telling

I drive a lot at night and some of the places I go to are kind of spooky so hearing this story in the background really gets me looking over my shoulder

Amazing.

I loved it but there was times when it got a bit confusing . Other than that it was a great story, i will definitely be buying the next book.

Family

ki oGo figure a child who doesn't remember being in an asylum. a test subject released back into the real world after having his memory erased before giving him the college experience in an old building that was once an asylum.

amazing

this is a great series that I've read and listened to countless times. highly recommend.

Hard to get into

This book was a little hard to get into. I tried several times to read it but this time I pushed myself to finish it. Once I got into it, I really enjoyed it. I already downloaded the second book in the series.

Dan is an idiot

Excluding the protagonist, having major, main character delusions, quite a thrilling story that was fun to come back to. A bit jarring at moments, but I'm sure that's intended.

wow

talk about a amazing way to tell a story i got lost in this book
