This story is pretty good. Harry with multiple personaility disorder which he aquired during his stay with the Dursleys.

There's Harry who's the core personaility and pretty much canon!Harry. Then there's Silas who represents his slytherin personailty you know, cunning, sneaky, paranoid etc. etc.
There's Gabriel who's the gryffindor really. Brave, Rash, kinda slow but magically powerful.
There are three more but I can really remember much about them except their names. (Boy, Rose and Demon.)

The fic is quite dark, a little too much angst on some parts. Plus some parts which I KNOW will piss people off on this site.

I'll give a 7 out of 10.

 

I think I remember trying this one out, but blatant angst + child abuse + Snape stopped me from continuing this beyond the first chapter.

 

so over all is this worth reading?

 

i started to read this one but i found that it was to slow. to many plot holes if i remember right. its fine in the beggining but then it gets way to repetitive. i wouldnt suggest reading it you will be scared afterwords lol

 

I found this an ok read. There are a lot of things that bug me, but Silas i like. It helps that the author updates often.

 

First of, I'm fully aware that this thread is over a year old. Library threads are immune from the Necro ban however, so I decided to post my review.

A fair warning for those who've never read this before: The sequel is H/D Slash. I only know that because of it's summary.

I was very hesitant to read this story at first, but I eventually complied out of boredom. The beginning was pretty interesting, despite the child abuse. The alternate personalities were a lot of fun, and I liked the author's rendition of the first three years. The plot started to slow down after that though, and I noticed quite a few slashy hints. I jumped to the last chapter to check if it was slash or not, and unknowingly ended up on the graveyard scene. Let's just say that it's far from DLP material, and leave it at that. I promptly lost all interest, and stopped reading. The H/D slash factor was the final nail in the coffin.

I would have given this story a 3/5, but then I suddenly remembered this:

Taken directly from author notes of chapter twelve.

 

I dunno, it was good at first, and I like the personalities of Harry's alternates, but after a while, it just gets boring. Plus, sensitive!caring!not-such-an-asshole!Snape just doesn't work for me. He's not a nice guy, so why do people continue trying to portray him as one?

It's very original, and it's obvious that the author really did their homework, but it just gets too slow to be truly enjoyable. 3/5
