Book review - Still Alice by Lisa Genova



Still Alice By Lisa Genova
Summary

Alice Howland is proud of the life she worked so hard to build. at 50 years old she's a coginitive pyschology professor at Harvard & a world-renowned expert in linguistics with a sucessful husband & three grown children. When she becomes increasing disoriented & forgetful, a tragic diagnosis changes her life & her relationship with her family & the world, forever...

Review 

Having read the book & seen the film many times now, I can unshamefully say that every time I cry. I think that dementia, any form should be explored & what the author did is wonerful. Lisa's writing is captivating & powerful. It is full of raw emotions & beautifully written, every word I read I felt it. 

As a massive book reader I read numerous books, but nothing like this. This book was emotional, heartbreaking & a phenomenal read. This book should be read by everyone... Highly recommended!
