I just finished The Sleep Room by F.R. Tallis. I had never heard of this book, but it could my eye twice on the "new arrivals" shelf at the library. It is the story of a house turned into a hospital specializing in sleep therapy, sedatives, etc. There is also some paranormal activity and other weird occurances. It is classified as horror, but I didn't think it was horror at all. Maybe a little unusual suspence.
At first I was really intrigued by this book. I like learning about psychology/psychiatrists and the way things were done in the past. A little while in I started getting bored and didn't understand why a "ghost" was introduced. Then I started liking the story again. There was a little suspence, but when Dr. Richardson said something like "I should have paid more attention to that at the time", the problem was never really answered. At the end there was a twist, which made me feel really confused.
If you are looking for something different to read, I would recommend this book. It was an unusual story and very interesting at times.
