Incredibly interesting, but incredibly long. Things seemed to drag on at points, but at the end, I felt myself moved by Milligan's story.

This book is an easy 5/5 from me. A True Crime Novel that reads like a good fiction book!! The story itself, 24 personalities, 1 man absolutely fascinating. But also heartbreakingly honest. The ending of this book really got to me, and I'll probably do some outside research in finding out what happened afterwards.

The fact that the events from this book take place around parts of my home state, and specifically places I grew up in and around made it even more interesting!

Read this book. It's fantastic.

Pomijając słowa wypowiedziane przez siostrę Millingana ("Nie wszystko w książce jest prawdą.") w serialu dokumentalnym o nim, ta książka się przeciąga (ucieszyłam się, gdy ją skończyłam). Co nasuwa stwierdzenie, że nie jest ona dobrze napisana. Uważam że ta pozycja dość mocno "wybiela" głównego bohatera. 
Nawet ja biografię tzn. gatunek rządzący się innymi prawami niż reszta, ta książka nie jest dobra, nie poleciła bym jej chociażby osobą lubiącym ten gatunek.
Jedyne co dodaje tej książce to ciekawość jak się skończy (czwgo nie zawdzięczamy autorowi, lecz poprostu samej historii) oraz fakt obecności takiej choroby u przestępcy.
