I loved every thing about this book but the ending. It left me hanging with what happened to Alice after she totally lost her memory. If you want to know how early onset Alzheimer's progress you really need to read this book. The characters are very well developed and very beleivable. Alice, a Harvard professor notices she is starting to forget thing and attributes it to menopause. After visiting her GP, she goes to a neuroligist to find out she has early onset Alzheimer's at the age of 50. The fast pace progression of the disease and her family and friends reactions are well documented. This is a great book!
