Ten Days in a Madhouse

I really love this book

So loved this book, what a remarkable woman. I could have continued the story and followed her through the rest of her life.

I had heard of Nellie Bly and her brave act of having herself committed to the madhouse from a passing comment in a TV programme so when I came across the audiobook I thought I’d have a listen; I was not disappointed. Her account is both fascinating and tragic. She presents her narrative in a heartbreakingly honest way but it is thankfully interspersed with humour and written in a way so as to not make it morose despite the subject. I thought the reader did very well with differentiating between characters and read very competently in such a way as we listened to the book not her.

I really enjoyed this audio book, it’s engaging and an entertaining story. The narrator had my attention throughout the duration of the audio book.

I really enjoyed it

The book is of amazing historical value and totally worth listening to, but the silly voices the narrator pulls when she tries to impersonate the characters in the book, are at the very least, really annoying. It would be much more enjoyable if she didn’t try to impersonate nobody and just read it through with a neutral tone.

Very interesting piece of history. Made more interesting by a very good narration

Brilliant book about a sad story s as and the narrator is fantastic. This is by far the best Libraxox narrator I’ve ever come across.

Curious time in history that is (hopefully) long forgotten as far as treatment of those with mental challenges. The narration was awkward. The reader sounded like a high school junior presenting a drama class project. Very limited dialect and characterization presentation.

I loved this story. A society can be judged by how we treat the those in need among us.

Really enjoyed this book. And would recommend

Great listen!

Very good book, but sad. Narrator did a good job.

Such a compelling narrative. Sounds like it could have been used as inspiration for American Horror Story: Asylum.

Very interesting yet sad and quite shocking book giving us a unique opportunity to peek into the scary world of XIX century psychiatric hospital. The narrator did a really good job of acting the parts, she's very pleasant to listen to without sounding monotone.
