Book Review of Still Alice

Still Alice
Still Alice
Author: Lisa Genova
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback

Helpful Score: 1


This was a hard book for me to read, as I have a mother with dementia. However, I was really impressed with the accuracy of the author's research. Many of the events were exactly what I have experienced with my mom. What an emotional roller coaster! That, in itself, was a testament to the author's skill. There were times I wanted to applaud Alice and I so identified with her frustration and her family's pain. As I said, a hard book to read but should be a real eye opener to anyone not familiar with dementia and Altzheimer's.
