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.

评分这本书的主题是什么?亲情?爱情?斗争疾病的力量?全都对,但是我却觉得书名才真正地点出了全书一直在证明的一句简洁而又有力的话:Still Alice。 Alice变了吗?答案是肯定的。从一个高智商高能力,自我意识强烈而生活有条理的女教授“退化”到一个生活不能自理,不认...
评分在看到很多地方都忍不住泪流满面,在家里忽然间找不到厕所,在自己爱的人面前当场失禁,失控的喊出“don't look at me!” John温柔的“it's ok. you need something lighter anyway.”温情的让人觉得心酸。 临近末尾时,早已经连John都不再认识的Alice在看到自己曾经和他一起...
评分因为看了电影决定看看原著,除了里面医学和语言学的专有名词很生僻外,其他都很好理解
