21/08 - Page 279I must say that I am completely fascinated by this book, the strength of this woman is very inspiring. Before picking up this book I had never heard of this story before, I didn't know who Sybil was and I had definitely not seen the film. Before reading the other reviews I did not kn...

10/8 - I have been wanting to read this for nearly two decades, since I first heard about the 'case' when I was 12 or 13.

I read this over a decade ago after I'd read most of the other books in my parents's house. Not exactly the light read I was looking for but still quite good.

I read this book decades ago while working on a psychology paper in High School. This book offers good and interesting insight in mind of the suffers of multiple personality disorder.
