Title: Uninteresting, Fraudulent
Product review: Sybil is Flora Rheta Schreiber's fictional account about a young woman afflicted with sixteen different personalities. If you are looking for a truthful, thought-provoking work this is not for you. It has been revealed since the book's first publication that the story presented within these pages is a fraud cooked up by the three main characters. For the real story Sybil Exposed is a much better read.But even if we disregard this as a work of nonfiction and accept it as what it is - a nearly 500 page novel - it still is not very exciting or interesting. Schreiber displays a neat, detailed prose but none of the characters are written in a way that I felt excited to begin reading anew each day. This book was a chore to finish - it felt too long and too full of unnecessary details. It's too bad this book is still marketed as "the classic true story" rather than the fictional account it really is.
