My Review:
In the quiet halls of Sisco Heights Mental Health Facility, Bernard is in deep conversation with Darcy's tattoo. Who knew that they could be so mean? And who knew that they could get him in so much trouble with, Jamal---the party pooper?
Later on during group time, the group learns why the newcomer, Max is in attendance. Between Dr. Aadil's coaxing and Max's wisdom from God along with Chloe's 20 second prophetic outbreaks, it looks like a perfect time for Ralphy the bath towel superhero to run in and save the day. Before he is allowed to do so Nelson says something to lighten the mood---but instead it starts to agitate everyone.
The book Child's play is utterly chaos on paper, but oh so brilliant. The author's writing plays out like a comedy on the big screen. An amazing story that will leave you speechless! It was a really entertaining book and I look forward to the next one!
