In Lisa Genova’s extraordinary New York Times bestselling novel, an accomplished woman slowly loses her thoughts and memories to Alzheimer’s disease—only to discover that each day brings a new way of living and loving. Now a major motion picture starring Julianne Moore, Alec Baldwin, Kate Bosworth, and Kristen Stewart!
Alice Howland, happily married with three grown children and a house on the Cape, is a celebrated Harvard professor at the height of her career when she notices a forgetfulness creeping into her life. As confusion starts to cloud her thinking and her memory begins to fail her, she receives a devastating diagnosis: early onset Alzheimer’s disease. Fiercely independent, Alice struggles to maintain her lifestyle and live in the moment, even as her sense of self is being stripped away. In turns heartbreaking, inspiring, and terrifying, Still Alice captures in remarkable detail what it’s like to literally lose your mind...
Reminiscent of A Beautiful Mind, Ordinary People, and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Still Alice packs a powerful emotional punch and marks the arrival of a strong new voice in fiction.
这本书出于2009年初,不曾想年底的诺贝尔物理学奖就颁给了一位Alzheimer症患者,光纤之父高锟。诺奖公布之时,有传言高锟已患老年痴呆。看到电视上的采访,一定另所有人唏嘘不已。而我又被带到小说中描述的故事,想起当时读得我泪流满面的情景。很感人,而且很真实。
評分Read the paper book in metro, it give me a complex feeling of Alice who diagnosed as early Alzheimer's. The confession of her iner mind and the reaction between her family is so detailed. It also let me ask myself how can I live a life with the Alzheimer's....

評分 評分1. 两点好:真实,科学。不愧是neuroscience PhD写的,虽然还是有一定程度上文学的或者说浪漫主义的修饰。但是对于AD病人的mental recess的过程太细致动人了,再就是对AD的诊断、治疗、supporting group等一系列疗程都有靠谱的介绍。(虽然时间轴不太对,因为确诊不会那么迅速...
很多時候 都要放下書 喘一喘。
评分#2年前剛剛工作的時候,做第一個項目在深圳,項目經理藉瞭這本書的繁體字版給我,但是一直沒有看,後來那一年的鼕天看瞭硃利安摩爾的電影,感動到痛哭。書甚至比電影還要直觀,從Alice的視角感受到那種無法想象的痛苦:作為一個那麼聰明的女性,纔滿五十歲,突然開始齣現一些癥狀,最後確診是阿茲海默癥,隨著癥狀的惡化,每天都在與時間賽跑,就像坐上瞭一輛沒有刹車的汽車朝著懸崖邊狂奔。首先是短期記憶快速的丟失,後來漸漸失去瞭閱讀和語言的能力,認知的能力,不認得自己最親的親人,不知道自己是誰,那活著的意義還在哪裏?那種挫摺感孤獨感在讀書的時候完全能感覺到,簡直讓人不寒而栗。非常喜歡Lisa的嚴謹,本身作為哈佛大學的教授,學術上細緻講解讓我受益匪淺,真希望有更多這樣的好書提高大傢對疾病的認識,能有更多新藥齣現
评分Heartbreaking but amazing!
评分第一次知道患者有多痛苦,知道他們腦子裏是啥,這樣子再也不會對外公外婆的行為感到不理解和不包容瞭,希望以後有治療的辦法…
评分讀書的時候真的是無數次動容!時隔瞭好久看電影,茱莉安摩爾的錶演確實很贊!
