The plot has too many dramaturgic twists to be consistent. In particular, the end appears construed. It feels like a rollercoaster ride. There are too many turns that cannot be tied together into a consistent narrative. This may leave you almost betrayed by the story.
And yet it is entertaining and thought-provoking; so I gave it a five of ten.
But beware: you might feel betrayed at the end.
Somehow related to this, in the Rosenhan experiment the validity of psychiatric diagnosis was tested. It was conducted by a Stanford University professor, and published by the journal "Science" under the title "On Being Sane in Insane Places" in 1973. The alleged "patients" simulated hallucinations to enter psychiatric clinics. They acted normally afterwards. The great majority of those persons were diagnosed to mentally sick by the mental hospitals.
