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.

上班兩個月 用中午休息的時間看完瞭 想到之前上psyc1101的時候講alzheimer's Dawn給我們看的記錄片兒 四五十個人的大lecture大傢都在抹眼淚
评分第一次知道患者有多痛苦,知道他們腦子裏是啥,這樣子再也不會對外公外婆的行為感到不理解和不包容瞭,希望以後有治療的辦法…
评分沒有什麼驚心動魄的情節,隻有平淡無奇的日常瑣事,但卻打動人心。我也曾想過如果有一天自己不再是健全完整的自己,生活該如何繼續?再一次堅定,活在當下,珍惜現在。
评分哭瞭也就三七二十一次吧 全篇都在浮現咩姨 演技無與倫比
