Title: totally misleading title- this book is not a "History of Danvers State Hospital"
Product review: I don't understand at all why this book has so many 4 and 5 star reviews-- it is not at all what the title says it is. I thought it would be a real history of Danvers State with photos and interviews. Yes, there are some snippets of interviews that the author did, but in other places he states that he can't reveal what people said about working there- why say that you talked to them then? Also, there is no structure to the book- it is really just a collection of musings by the author about why he thinks he became obsessed with the Hospital-- there is really hardly any text at all. The whole book is really just a showcase of the author's pastel drawings- while they are nice pastels, it was just not what I was expecting. I wish there really was a good book about the history of Danvers State-- this one isn't it.
