Sheer Entertainment in the Palm of Your Hand,July 14, 2011

Already a fan of Claude Bouchard's earlier work, his latest novel was no exception. I essentially read `Asylum' in two sittings.

The novel focuses around the central character, Dr Mathew Russell, as he endeavours to repair his failing marriage. As work has occupied most of his time he decides to take an impromptu holiday from his position as Managing Director of the Montreal Hospital for the Criminally Insane.

His wife, Cassie, and children, nine-year-old Stuart and seven-year-old Jennifer are both surprised and thrilled with the prospect of some time together as a family. Dr Russell soon becomes, `family man' as they take an action-packed trip of a lifetime. There was no shortage of misadventures along the way. The author's skill in creating an atmosphere for the reader is superb.
The ending, filled with suspense, was totally unexpected and brilliantly done. To sum it up, from the front page to the back it is very worthy of five stars. I highly recommend, `Asylum' as sheer reading entertainment for all.
