I have a lot of issues with this book. Some of them are nitpicky, yes, like the terrible photoshop jobs on the included photos and the fact that I can't actually find the original images (I put that history degree to use looking up sources because by god I can). 
 But the writing lacks any sort of depth, as do the characters. There's no character development at all, and their individual side stories are pushed aside with ease and leave no impact on the story. The insanity of the asylum-turned-dorm seeps into the characters, but blink (or turn the page) and it's gone. It could have been taken so much further and deeper and made the ending much more satisfying if this seeping had been explored. 
 The ending itself is rushed, jumbled, and uninspired. Major plot lines are finished within ten pages, which would have been fine if it hadn't been such a chaotic read. This is to say nothing of the plot lines that are left hanging, as if waiting for a sequel the story doesn't lend itself to at all.
