Tell Me Your Dream by Sidney Sheldon
Finally I’ve finished another of Sidney Sheldon’s great books. I love the way he writes. Ok I said the way he writes not the contests, ok. There’s a difference. Just wanted to make it clear especially to those who do know what kind of books he writes. The book a borrowed this time round is titled “Memories of Midnight”. The last book I read was “Tell Me Your Dreams” it’s about this lady by the name of Ashley who suffers from split personality disorder. One can develop a split personality due to trauma. Ashley was raped by her father and due to that trauma she developed 2 more ‘personalities’ in her. Tony who was born in London and Atte I think who was born in Italy. Tony was the wild, fun, anger side of Ashley while Atte was the shy, quiet and tends to shy away from human affection. Both have 2 things in common. Tony has a talent in singing while Atte loves to paint. Tony had always been the stronger one, full of hate and anger. And all this while Ashley didn’t have any knowledge of what was happening to her. Ashley fell in love with the star of the football team back when she was in college but her father didn’t like that fact they were seeing each other. So they decided to elope on their graduation night. That was the same day that Ashley’s father enrolled her in a university in London. That night she ran to Jonathon’s place planning to execute their plan to elope together (the star football player). She thought he loved her but infact he wanted only one thing. History repeated itself and Tony came in and she killed him.

The same thing happened to the all the guys who did that to Ashley. After the 4th murder Ashley was found guilty by the State of Virginia. But the problem was that, for one to commit murder, there has to be motive and the murder itself. Ashley didn’t have the motive of kill anyone in fact the other 2 victims were unknown to her. Tony and Atte knew the other two victims. It was not easy for Ashley’s lawyer to prove her not guilty and get her the right treatment she needed instead of a death sentence. Because some states in the US don’t not know that this disorder really existed. But in the end she got the treatment that she needed and she lived a normal life again.

Ok there is no moral to the story and NO I’m not tell you it’s ok to commit murder and then pled insanity or say that you suffer from split personality. They have a way to know if you have a split personality. Hmm…I just wonder if there have been such cases here in Singapore… *walks away thinking*
