I was expecting a grand finale that tied up all the ends, but this did not happen for me. Set in a psychiatric hospital, I found the characters hard to engage with, and while there were some clever, funny bits, I was left feeling this shortish book was a bit like cake dough that needed a bit more cooking. I can see how the aim was to convey insanity, but this is very, very hard to do.
