Asylum by Madeleine Roux

The full review can be found at The Book Bratz

I first read Asylum long before my blogging days and I really did love it. At the time I never read anything like it. I had found it scary, and thrilling and I devoured it in a few hours. It was everything I loved in a book. Since 2013 my tastes in books has changed. I did enjoy Asylum, but I didn't love it like I had originally. I did like the characters, Dan was awkward and geeky, Abby was the pretty social butterfly and Jordan was the whiny friend. They were interesting on the aspects of their connections to Brookline (The old Asylum) For Abby's sake, I wish they would have gone into more detail about Lucy's story. I was interested a lot in that. There were things left on answered on that end. Dan learns he is related to Daniel Crawford, the warden to the asylum who did sick experiments on the patients. We were given more information about the warden and who he was. But there are so many things left unanswered. It was main;y the unanswered questions that bought my rating down as much as it did.
