There are very few books that have an everlasting effect on me. I usually remember them all, but every now and then I read one that stays with me afterwards for a very long time. This is one of them. Still Alice a beautifully written book about one woman's battle with early onset Alzheimer's Disease. Alice is able to pull you into her world and makes you see what she does and makes you feel what she feels. I don't know how anyone could read this and not feel apart of Alice herself. I won't lie, but it is a pretty scary feeling. When she panicked I could feel it. It is such a heart wrenching story that I don't recommend reading it unless you are in the right frame of mind.
