What a book! My heart raced so fast pretty much the entire second half of the novel! It was wonderfully confusing (without getting annoying) and fast paced. I give it 4 stars though because I didn't quite connect with the characters and the syntax was sometimes a bit off so I had to go back and re-read several of the sentences several times and they still didn't make sense (this applies mostly to the first half of the book as I had no time to notice this when "the plot thickened"). I also found it somewhat weird that they would have kept all that stuff so easily available and untouched. Roux tried to explain this by saying the teacher was going to archive it later, but I just didn't buy it. 
 I love that they included pictures from real asylums, it really helped set the mood of the book and gave it that eerie, creepy feeling! I'm embarrassed to say I was scared when I had to go to the dorm bathroom in the middle of the night. All in all a good read, but with some room for improvement. Looking forward to reading Sanctum!
