Well, the idea of a central character's reality being illusion has been around since at least 1920 when The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari was on the silent screen, but I thought it was done in an engrossing manner, and the cost of what they were doing wasn't a problem for me as it involved an experimental treatment the doctors were hoping to prove successful. Were they taking these measures with each of their patients, I could understand the objections as a plot device, but this was an experiment they were trying with only one.

I really enjoyed this book.
