Summary: where is billy milligan?
Comment: i read the book about billy milligan and was totally facinated by it.daniel keyes has done a tremendous job of letting the lay man know what goes into the mind of a person suffering from multiple personality disorder.although billy was accused of severe crimes ,i cant help but feel enormous sympathy for him after reading the book.i feel it was sad the way some doctors and judge treated him ,but i guess it was their ignorance about his disease that made them do so.nevertheless i wonder WHERE IS BILLY MILLIGAN NOW?what happened to him ?if he is now living a normal life?or still struggling with his 23 personalities.?

Summary: The most disturbing book I've ever read
Comment: I worked at a hotel long ago, and I found "The Minds of Billy Milligan" in unclaimed properties. Parts of the book were very unsettling, but I couldn't put the book down. I almost felt guilty for intruding into the mind of a person so viciously abused that he became what he is.
The book ends in the year 1981. Since then, Milligan has had a failed marriage and more legal problems. He is also reportedly unfused. A sequel to "The Minds of Billy Milligan" called "The Milligan Wars" was released, but only in Japan. Unless the film is produced and released here, according to the author, Daniel Keyes, the book probably won't be released here.
A film of his life has been in the works for many years, and it appears to be an on again/off again project. Milligan himself helped Leonardo DiCaprio in preparing for the role in an adaptation called "The Crowded Room".
Disturbing and engrossing. What else is the mind is capable of? If Billy Milligan and Sybil are any indication, the answer to that is truly frightening.

Summary: From one who knows
Comment: The book "The Minds of Billy Milligan" was terrific! I have Multiple Personality Disorder (DID) myself and the book was a tremendous help in gaining some type of control in my head. Billy was an amazing person and I admire him greatly. Another book that has helped me that should also be on your list is "First Person Plural" by Dr. Cameron West Ph. D. It was an auto biography from a person with the Disorder.
