238 pages
Genre: Thriller
Publisher: Damnation Books
Publication Date: September 2013
Synopsis:


Michael couldn’t understand the nightmares that made him violent on waking, mostly because he didn’t have the courage to think his problem through. Eventually, pressured into entering a mental hospital by his employers he thought that here he would find answers and a way to a better life. He was never more wrong.



My Thoughts:

* I received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.

I found the plot hard to follow at first but after a little while my brain cleared up and I started to enjoy it. It's an original work with a sympathetic protagonist. I found the subject matter hard to read at times but in the end I found it worthwhile to stick to.

No  "How much alcohol do you drink?" Not enough Nurse: "Ok, you have to have at least one goal to on this list to improve your self care. Which one do you want to work on?" Me: "Oh geez, I guess I'll try to exercise more. Maybe."  I know I need to take better care of myself, I'm a chubby little monkey and my eating habits aren't so great. But COME ON exercising is about as exciting as watching paint dry and Chips Ahoy takes waaay better th...
