Customer Review - Still Alice

Still Alice
by Lisa Genova

Still Alice is a fictional account of a woman's life with early onset Alzheimer's disease. A respected Harvard professor of cognitive psychology, Alice learns of her disease after keeping track of her daily life on to-do lists doesn't keep her from forgetting things. This is really a scary and sad read if you know someone with this disease or not. Make sure you have tissues! -- reviewed by Kris J. - a customer of the Anderson and Bethany Branch Libraries
