Cathy B. reviewed on
As an exploration into the mind of an alzheimer's patient and a study on the effects it has on a family, it was informative and engrossing. But it read as a fictionalized description written by a clinician, and not what I expect from a novelist. The details of the doctor patient interactions were sterile and verbatim. The main character pre-alzheimers is flat.
I'd be interested to see the same story told through the family's eyes, and have their reactions and decisions further developed.
Yes, it was eye-opening and developed sympathy for the disease. But it is not the best book I've read this year, as others have stated.
