Okay. This was way better than the Asylum. The characters had more depth and were more developed. I didn't feel anything about Daniel, Abby and Jordan. They felt kinda flat. But Ricky and Kay felt real and they were such a cool duo.The story started slow but got much better in the second half. Could feel some kind of excitement I guess.The ending... Well I feel like it went too fast and easy at the last 15-20 pages but idk maybe that's just me.P.S :Am I the only person in the world who's incapable of blushing? Why does everyone in books blush all the time?

This rating system needs more than 5 stars. I really enjoyed this book. As always the longer review is up on my blog. And again I wasn't able to put this book down. I read it in just a couple of hours or so and I really enjoyed it. Madeleine Roux knows how to spin a creepy tale. The pictures that are spaced through out the book make the book in my opinion. I'm not quite sure what to say about this book, except if you enjoy horror anything than you will definitely enjoy this book

3.75!

“I wasted a lot of time thinking I was so smart and so hip. Now I just want to be good, and to do that I have to believe other people are good, too.”Escape from Asylum is a prequel to the Asylum series which story circulated around Ricky Desmond, a teenage guy with a temper management issue. He is living with his mother and stepfather and has visited several institutions for his issue. But on the day he became violent towards his stepfather, Ricky has no other choice but to live in Brookline, an asylum headed by Warden Crawford. The book, I admit, is way better and creepier and scarier than the other Asylum books bearing in mind that this is actually is a prequel.I loved the way Madeleine Roux slowly unfolds the mysteries and the connections it has with the Asylum series. I loved how it made my heart beat faster with every scene and how it made me had a mini heart attact with a scary scene followed by a scarier picture. I actually love Escape in Asylum and the characters, too! But I got confused with Kit. She was addressed by Ricky as a girl but the pronoun used by the nurses in addressing Kit was 'he'. So I was not really sure about it. And I was still confused even after reading the last page of the book. But other than that, I loved it!I do recommend this one and of course, the Asylum series!

I really loved this book so much it was thrilling and the photos really set the tone of the story so well. I really liked the characters especially Ricky and Kay I liked their relationship you could really tell this book was set in in the late 60s from a few things that are said in the story this is the first book I have read with this kind of setting with a transgender character I really liked the characters so much. The horror atmosphere was so well done you could feel Ricky's struggles and that of the other people around him so well. I loved the plot of this story it started out with Ricky thinking he should not be there before that feeling turned to horror because of all of the horrible things the warden has done and the people the warden has killed and after that Ricky started trying anything to escape the horror he found himself in. So overall I loved this prequel going to get back into reading the series soon.

Muestra la realidad de antiguos procesos usados en los pacientes psiquiátricos, es triste, crudo, me pareció muy interesante poder vivir todo el proceso con los personajes, el final me gustó y lo recomiendo si quieres saber más sobre el recorrido de los tratamientos para salud mental, es corto y agradable:)

To see more reviews check out MI Book Reviews.Whew. I am not really sure what I should say about this novel. It hit so many buttons for me. SO MANY BUTTONS WERE PRESSED.Maybe I should start with how queer this novel really is? The main character is canonically into men and women. One of the reasons he is put into the psychiatric hospital is because he was caught in bed with another teen boy. So props for a main character that is potentially bisexual. Not once did he say he was gay or that he preferred one over the other. It was also shown more than it was talked about and it wasn’t just a convenient plot point either. It was nice to have diversity in a novel in a way that doesn’t feel problematic. One of my favorite characters was an openly black trans woman! She was in the facility because of being trans. Not once did Ricky dead name her or refer to her as male. He went out of his way to help her feel at home in her skin and that she was lovely as she was. There is even hints at the end of a relationship which I 100% ship.Speaking of having a trans character, I was really worried about the plot because of the character. I don’t want to use either name used in the book for her, it might take some of the magic away from the scene where she comes out to Ricky. I was worried that her only plots would be her being in the asylum for being trans, but there was so much more to her character. The author wasn’t lax when it came to anything. Roux actually made a trans character that was more than her transness. I AM IN LOVE. A lot of the novel is full of pure transphobia. If you are triggered by dead naming someone and flagrant use of the wrong pronoun (and other physiological torture of a trans person in an attempt to “cure” them), then this book will be hard to get through. I do want to make it clear that the characters that are clearly the good guys, do not engage in any of that behavior and they actively stand up for the trans character. So while it really sucked at times, the reaction from Ricky was very much one of anger. He hated that they would actively try to hurt someone like that. So it could read very much as cis savior, but it comes across that the trans character is much more useful in the overall scheme of things than Ricky. Ricky is just more important to the sinister plot.The book tackles the idea of psychiatric hospital as they used to be. They are drastically different today. Today it would be illegal to hose people off with a fire house for example. They would not be allowed to feed the patients the way they were feed in this book. This book is horror and fiction. Though there have been many instances of people being abused and used for medical experiments in psychiatric hospitals. This book is like watching AHS: Asylum and going “I know everything about mental health treatment now”. Some of the ideas are rooted in horrific truths, but they were also sensationalized for the sake of the story. I can go into the long history of psycho surgery and shock therapy. I have seen videos of people being treated with shock therapy. It is horrifying. It is and was barbaric. The first time I saw one of the videos, I almost puked. It was a lesson in one of my early psychology classes. It was watched in an ethics lesson. Current psychology is aware of the past and they are doing what they can to prevent it from being repeated. Ethics was covered in almost every psychology class I took. Each class referenced more horrible things that happened within that branch of psychology and why ethics matter so much. I am not lessening the horrors that were faced. I do what I can to learn about the true horrors, Roux mentions her inspiration in the acknowledgments (a quick google search reveals sexual assault, underpaid staff, dangerous conditions, and forced medication). It has become a trope that all psychiatric hospitals are full of madmen trying to torture people by doing medical experiments. They are almost always haunted by ghosts and the lights are iffy. Also lobotomies are almost always mentioned with ice picks. This does not stop me from enjoying the hell out of an asylum story and being fascinated with how horrifying the history of them really is. I enjoyed myself and I loved the references to lobotomies, despite wishing that Roux was able to have a story more complex than a basic lobotomy story. I am a total psych nerd and I have been in a psychiatric hospital as a patient before. So I speak of the reality both from an academic sense and from an emotional sense. I have also been a jail guard, which is really relevant when you realize how little funding psychiatric hospitals get now and how much the prison/jail system is relied on to treat mental health now.So this is a pretty spooky book. My heart was racing at some points. I was invested in this story. Once my fear of how the trans character would be used by Roux were mollified, I was able to really focus on the story. I enjoyed it so much. I am sorry to say that the rest of the series seems to be about other characters. I could have happily read more about these characters. I have seen some reviews that claim this is just a rip off of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, I can totally understand where they are coming from. The idea of using “real” or “found” photos to tell a story for YA audiences was started with Miss Peregrine’s or at least mainstreamed with it. I was bored out of my mind reading it though, the movie also didn’t do anything for me. This one worked so much more for me. Found footage has been a thing in horror for decades now. So the idea of using photos to convey the creepy in a novel isn’t all that far removed from what has been done in the horror movie genre. So take what you will from that. The stories are drastically different and the photos felt more sinister and seemed to fit in the story better than they did in Miss Peregrine’s. So if you can get past the idea that they share the same formatting idea and you like horror, then this book can be a ton of fun.

uf! lo amé ♥ Me duele despedirme de esta saga. aún no sé si 4 o 4.5 pero me encantó este libro.Tal vez haya reseña

I actually liked this a fair amount more than Asylum itself. It helped renew my desire to continue (which had dwindled after the first book). The haunting aspects vs reality are a strange mix. I actually liked both Ricky and Kay. I kept expecting trouble with Dennis, having read the first book. There are some odd mind games in this book that make you feel almost as lost as Ricky must have felt which was good. Still this is a very mild YA horror novel. Part supernatural, part psychological.

4.5/5I definitely thought the ending to this book would be a bit more dramatic than it actually was. Not that there wasn’t drama but it ended a bit more abruptly than I expected. All in all I thought this was a solid prequel. It gave you a good history of the sick things that went on at Brookline before the school turned it into a dorm and caused all the events of the Asylum series to unfold. It really was twisted, some of the things they tried to do. It’s sad the way people were treated for being a little different.
