无论有没有在读这本书,我总是不由自主地不同时刻地沉浸在此书里,我觉得难过压抑无可奈何甚至会无声哭泣,我想起了我的爸爸妈妈,如果他们得了老年痴呆症,他们在发现的过程中会不会像爱丽丝一样焦虑难堪耻辱无力暴躁愤怒得不到理解甚至有一种抑郁的征兆,他们也会感觉孤独吗...
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...
评分以下段落选自《我想念我自己》(中信出版社2017年8月),作为喜爱这部电影的影迷,很开心看到原著在中国的出版。 和电影中爱丽丝在失智症关爱大会上的演讲不尽相同,电影里的演讲词更影视化,是电影的一个高潮,爱丽丝边画边读的样子让人印象深刻,而原书的演讲更有力...

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.

评分读书的时候真的是无数次动容!时隔了好久看电影,茱莉安摩尔的表演确实很赞!
评分上班两个月 用中午休息的时间看完了 想到之前上psyc1101的时候讲alzheimer's Dawn给我们看的记录片儿 四五十个人的大lecture大家都在抹眼泪
评分也看过改编的电影,都很感人,只是文字的感人和电影的方式不同,文字更慢长,让你更能不用着急的去思考
评分细腻流畅 细思恐极
