Jon keeps having these awful nightmares, but what comes after is almost worse. Every time he wakes up from one of these nightmares, someone has removed one more of his limbs. He knows he's at the hospital but he doesn't know why, or why they keep removing his body parts.

Sometimes the doctors and the nurses come into his room; it's obvious most of them dislike him but he doesn't know why, and they won't tell him either. The only thing they'll do is call him Joe, but it doesn't make sense. He is Jon, not Joe. Why do they keep calling him Joe?

It is a short horror story with a lot of suspense and a shocking plot twist. I kind of saw it coming but I also feel like I'm too old to be considered the target audience for this book. If I was ten years younger, I would've loved the shit out of this book. But I felt like I read it a bunch of years too late.

Another thing is that I honestly didn't really understand the book at all. It left me with more questions than answers, and definitely not in a good way. It felt like there was something missing, or like the author felt like something was obvious when it was indeed not obvious at all to anyone else. But it is a good start for kids to get into the horror genre, I guess. ( )

Barrington Stoke Reader - Jon is in hospital and he can't move. Nurses keep coming in and giving him medicine as well as a psychiatrist. They also call him by the wrong name too...they call him Joe. Then he starts having terrible dreams in which is arm is cut off and then his other arm....what is happening? Short horror story that kids will like. ( )
