This was soooooo long, but also incredibly interesting. I gave it a chance because I watched 'The Crowded Room' and it left me wanting to know more. This book gives additional insight into the personalities, why Billy's mind had fragmented, and his relationship with the author/doctors. It probably goes without saying, but there are a lot of triggers in here for some people so proceed with caution.
I think one of the stories that most entertained me was learning that several of the alters could paint. They each had their own style though and at one point there was an issue with one alter selling another alters artwork! Despite the endless switching between personalities this was easy to follow... though some sections were difficult to digest.

Bellissimo. Un libro completo, interessante, avvincente persino. Un libro che tenta di spiegare la sofferenza di un uomo all'apparenza unico, ma in realtà frantumato dentro. Immaginate di non avere il controllo della vostra vita e nemmeno di sapere di non averlo. Leggetelo, magari vi aprirà la mente un po' di più.

True crime molto interessante. Non conoscevo la storia di Billy Milligan quindi per me c'è stato anche qualche piccolo colpo di scena. La parte centrale forse è stata un po' prolissa, alla fine le oltre 500 pagine si sono sentite.
Mi ero fatta un'idea totalmente diversa di questo libro perché l'ho sentito nominare molto spesso associato al film Split: ecco, non c'entrano assolutamente nulla tranne per il fatto di basarsi entrambi sul disturbo di personalità multipla.
