This was a really neat book! Excellent writing style, and I loved learning about the Troops' headspace and system organization. It was a little hard to understand at first since the Troops basically had to make up all of their own terminology. Plus, they were writing in a somewhat literary style rather than an expository style. It got easier to understand as I went along, though, and it was absolutely worth the effort, except for one thing: There's some racism that was quite startling and awful - the kind of thing I'd expect from the 1880s, not the 1980s.

I was amused to find that, while the copy I read advertised itself as a "first person account of multiple personality disorder," the book was actually written entirely in third person :)
