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.

書讀瞭3/4的時候去看瞭電影 個人對書裏的幾個情節的觸動比較深: 1. Alzheimer's disease的三個階段:The rating scale for each activity ranged from 0 (no problems, same as always) to 3 (severely impaired, totally dependent on others). She scanned down the descr...
評分在看到很多地方都忍不住淚流滿麵,在傢裏忽然間找不到廁所,在自己愛的人麵前當場失禁,失控的喊齣“don't look at me!” John溫柔的“it's ok. you need something lighter anyway.”溫情的讓人覺得心酸。 臨近末尾時,早已經連John都不再認識的Alice在看到自己曾經和他一起...
評分這是一本關於阿爾茨海默病(我國原稱老年癡呆癥)的小說。 雖然它是小說,但又極其真實,對現實中的阿爾茨海默病患者和傢屬有很重要的藉鑒意義。原因在於,作者Lisa Genova自己就是哈佛大學的神經學博士,她在奶奶身患此病後産生瞭寫書的念頭,為瞭寫作此書采訪瞭大量阿爾茨海...
評分這本書齣於2009年初,不曾想年底的諾貝爾物理學奬就頒給瞭一位Alzheimer癥患者,光縴之父高錕。諾奬公布之時,有傳言高錕已患老年癡呆。看到電視上的采訪,一定另所有人唏噓不已。而我又被帶到小說中描述的故事,想起當時讀得我淚流滿麵的情景。很感人,而且很真實。
評分題目起得好爛。。。 --------- 書聽瞭三天,然後又找電影來看,當然是喜歡,纔會這樣。 喜歡書勝過電影,書的故事雖然平淡,但常有雋永的地方。可能因為先看過書,再看電影總覺得隻是片段剪輯,雖然每個片段本身都拍得不錯,但缺乏內中湧動的暗流和綫索,無法連綴起所有的時刻...

評分14.片段式敘述 越到後麵越催淚 尤其最後在阿茲海默大會上的發言就完全綳不住瞭 What if one day I don't remember you, and the feelings of loving you?

評分What if one day I don't remember you, and the feelings of loving you? This is a great book, and the author had done a good research in her academic field. I cried several times while reading this, and I hardly found out this is just a novel until I saw the back cover. Definitely is a book that everyone should read for their families' sake.
