tani reviewed on 7/10/2007

I am now nearing the end of this book. Most of it is devoted to the author's absolutely horrifying and enraging experience (because of many of the doctors who wouldn't help her), yet written in such a way that parts of it are hilarious. I really enjoyed the way she wove so many names and songs and bits of quotes and lyrics into the text. (You find yourself feeling pleased to recognize some of them and puzzled by others.) The last part of the book is full of practical information to help others deal with their caring-for-elders problems. I have a dear relative with Alzheimer's disease, and I am really glad to have stumbled upon this book (on PBS, as a matter of fact! Thanks!)
