Title: Sybil
Product review: I think that if you read this book believing it to be the true story that it claims to be, it is so heart wrenching and powerful, that it would no doubt be reviewed as a well deserved 4 or 5 star book. HOWEVER, finding out after the fact that it is actually in large part fictional, it loses ALOT of its power. Speaking for myself, it would have been better to simply publish it as a novel. I read it twice. Once, years ago when it was still believed to be true, and it had much more of an impact on me then. The second time it sort of left me feeling duped. In any case, Sally Field was wonderful in the movie adaptation. (This was the Million Little Pieces of the 70's.)
