Neuroscientist and debut novelist Genova mines years of experience in her field to craft a realistic portrait of early onset Alzheimer's disease. Alice Howland has a career not unlike Genova's—she's an esteemed psychology professor at Harvard, living a comfortable life in Cambridge with her husband, John, arguing about the usual (making quality time together, their daughter's move to L.A.) when the first symptoms of Alzheimer's begin to emerge. First, Alice can't find her Blackberry, then she becomes hopelessly disoriented in her own town. Alice is shocked to be diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's (she had suspected a brain tumor or menopause), after which her life begins steadily to unravel. She loses track of rooms in her home, resigns from Harvard and eventually cannot recognize her own children. The brutal facts of Alzheimer's are heartbreaking, and it's impossible not to feel for Alice and her loved ones, but Genova's prose style is clumsy and her dialogue heavy-handed. This novel will appeal to those dealing with the disease and may prove helpful, but beyond the heartbreaking record of illness there's little here to remember.

评分在看到很多地方都忍不住泪流满面，在家里忽然间找不到厕所，在自己爱的人面前当场失禁，失控的喊出“don't look at me！” John温柔的“it's ok. you need something lighter anyway.”温情的让人觉得心酸。 临近末尾时，早已经连John都不再认识的Alice在看到自己曾经和他一起...

评分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...
用户评价
因为看了电影决定看看原著，除了里面医学和语言学的专有名词很生僻外，其他都很好理解
评分阿尔茨海默症
评分阿尔茨海默症
评分尽管是被诊断出Alzheimerz早期 整个故事讲起来还是淡淡的 却让我们残忍地看着Alice 从忘记把手机放在哪里 找不到回家的路 到忘记自己的学术 成就 记不清深爱的家人的脸 最后 丢掉自己 从一个著书无数的心理学教授变成了一个咿呀学语的婴儿 坐在小推车里 惊恐地看着周围似曾相识的脸庞 不懂他们在说什么做什么 书中有段Alice说比起Alzheimer 她更希望得Cancer 起码还有希望去战胜它 就算痛苦起码自己还是清醒的 死也死得“光荣" 可命运怎能由人讨价还价 它只会抽丝剥茧般地捆住你的心 what if i forget you and forget my feelings of loving you 听的有声书 Genova的声音让摩尔的角色代入感并不强 但很期待电影
评分Read in 2 days during holidays in the US. Such a great a book about Alzheimer’s Disease.
