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.
这是一本关于阿尔茨海默病(我国原称老年痴呆症)的小说。 虽然它是小说,但又极其真实,对现实中的阿尔茨海默病患者和家属有很重要的借鉴意义。原因在于,作者Lisa Genova自己就是哈佛大学的神经学博士,她在奶奶身患此病后产生了写书的念头,为了写作此书采访了大量阿尔茨海...
评分To courage and love 2019.01.13 今天我的中学老师去世了。 他患老年痴呆症多年,前两年同学聚会的照片上他在人群中笑着,表情温和。自初中毕业就没再见过霍老师了,没想到此生再也没有机会了。霍老师把我们这些十几岁的孩子从泥里拔出来,指到一条康庄大道上。至今想起每日的...

评分It's hard to imagine that a person losts a little pieces of memories everyday. Alice does not know herself at the end.But she still can feel love from her husban and daughters.From this perspective, she is still Alice.Her love and love to her are always the...
一个早发型阿尔兹海默病患的故事,非常悲伤,后半本基本上是流着眼泪看完的。整个故事从患者的视角出发,讲述病程的逐渐发展,非常真实动人。主角被设定为一位认知心理学家,MMSE和其他一些很熟悉的神经心理学测验在故事中出现多次,更是增加了我对故事的卷入度……
评分Read in 2 days during holidays in the US. Such a great a book about Alzheimer’s Disease.
评分Heartbreaking to see an extremely accomplished woman losing/forgetting everything. Picturing Julianne Moore the whole time I was reading it makes it even harder.
评分尽管是被诊断出Alzheimerz早期 整个故事讲起来还是淡淡的 却让我们残忍地看着Alice 从忘记把手机放在哪里 找不到回家的路 到忘记自己的学术 成就 记不清深爱的家人的脸 最后 丢掉自己 从一个著书无数的心理学教授变成了一个咿呀学语的婴儿 坐在小推车里 惊恐地看着周围似曾相识的脸庞 不懂他们在说什么做什么 书中有段Alice说比起Alzheimer 她更希望得Cancer 起码还有希望去战胜它 就算痛苦起码自己还是清醒的 死也死得“光荣" 可命运怎能由人讨价还价 它只会抽丝剥茧般地捆住你的心 what if i forget you and forget my feelings of loving you 听的有声书 Genova的声音让摩尔的角色代入感并不强 但很期待电影
评分越来越体会到 The brain is such a beautiful, monstrous mess
