I have read the book of Sybil and I have to say I was engrossed right from the start. It is such a remarkable story of a young girl whose bad treatment /situations as a child caused her mind to create personalities to deal with each situation as Sybil herself was not strong enough to.
It really is a very good read and I really hope the film becomes available to rent as it is one i've wanted to see in years just to see how they portrayed such a good book but have been unable to find it anywhere except the USA.
I would recommend this book/film to anyone who finds Psychology a really interesting subject.
