Book Reviews of Sybil
Book Review: Sybil
Summary: 4 Stars
My only criticism would have to be how ugly the cover is to this book.
Back in high school during AP pyschology I vividly remember watching this movie and falling asleep then awaking suddenly to Sally Field being hung from a lamp and raped with light bulbs by her mother.
6 years later reading the book really took the edge off of that blinding image and I am no longer scared of SF. Through the many, make that sixteen, faces of Sybil, the extreme nuances of every person can be found. After around 80 pages, the difference between schizophrenia and your early twenties is blurred. In fact,the descriptions of Sybil's blackouts seem eerily similar to those one might encounter after too much drink.
Regardless, the book is a great read especially if you are fascinated/scared by abnormal psychology and/or Sally Field's role in the movie.
