True story of a case of multiple personality.

This is the most interesting non-fiction book I've ever read. Billy Milligan was a tortured young man who had 24 personalities inside him...more than both Sybil and The three faces of Eve.

It's very well written. My only issue is I have two college degrees in science, but the author discusses very little about the science of this condition. But it's still a terrific book, whether you know or don't know anything about how this happens and how it can be treated.

This was an interesting book about someone who learned that he was rarely in charge of his actions. One scene that stuck in my mind was when "Phillip" decided to go to New York and "David" came forward and couldn't carry the weight of the duffel bag.
