I don't usually read nonfiction, so this was like a breath of fresh air. The author does a good job depicting Billy Milligan and his life. It makes Milligan feel like a victim more than a perpetrator honestly, displaying him sympathetically. I wanted more detail about the experience in Lima though. I would also say some parts of the book feel a bit blown up and unbelievable, like how Milligan was allegedly beaten up in Lima. Nevertheless, overall, a compelling narrative.??
