I received this book in exchange for an honest review. Well its a surprise that I had never known about the author before. My bad. But now that I have come across I cannot be more thankful. The book belongs to the thriller genre but writer in style. I cannot think of an author that I can compare rainy with. He is just unique. Randy has the skill to shake your nerve and give a direction to forethought process like no OK . I guess there are going to be more books by him on my shelf from here on.Randy has a history of living in an asylum campus when his father used to serve the asylum as a dentist. He compares himself to an army brat. This book is inspired your thought stay in the campus. During the time he befriend s a lot of inmates and understand the situation helping simultaneously.Here is what I think about the book.Cover-page: now I know why I never saw the books in store and or even if I did never felt like reading them. The cover-page pathetic straight out. It is more fit for horror genre than such a book. when someone said do not judge the book by the cover they hit the nail right on head. Do not go by the cover. Looks are deceptive!!Characters: the book revolves around a boy who lives in a mental asylum campus. He doesn't have many friends therefore he befriends the inmates in the asylum. Living with them closely he begins to understand their behaviour. He relates to them and strives to make their pain go away. He meets a 14 year old girl who keeps picking on her palms to make the micro particle of her fathers go away during the process bleeding her palm.He lives with his pain of a sister and his father. Th boy is a guitarist and makes songs for every occasion.There are many side characters in the book which are well picturized. His father, sister, Gladys, Phil, elmer, etc but your heart will go out for sussan.Concept: the concept is very interesting. It talks about the life in asylum, sanity and insanity presence of god and inner morality. a well researched and weaves story along with some conceptual thinking.Story line: Story line is well formed. Bradley thinks he is having feelings for sussan but is confused about real unreal and subjective morality. There is a murder that takes place in the campus and story picks up pace from their. It questions the rightness of treatment of psycho as criminals.good points: A good story. Engrossing language and a great dosage intellectual thing is what makes this book worth reading . mus read for those who like getting lost every now and th.Bad points: the only thing that I didn't like about the book is the cover page. Pathetic job at it. No forgiveness!!Overall: overall the book is an amazing read. One should definitely give it a shot. First chapter and you are hooked till you finish. Would love to read more from he author.
