My Thoughts: This book is very different from what I normally read. Since I work with the older population, this was very educational since it was from another point of view. The book included a lot of details. Some parts were heart wrenching. This one is a real eye-opener.
How funny that I stumbled on your blog just now by typing in “psychology” in the Reader because Lisa Genova was a graduate of the psychology department where I work (Bates College). She’s been back to read and talk with students a few times and is a fascinating person. This book is definitely worth the read. Good review!
Wow! That’s interesting. Its funny how things work out like that somethings. Thank you for commenting!
