I read this book about 4 years ago and re read it this year and i love it. It shows you how alzheimers not only affects the person who has it but also the people who are close to them. You watch a person slowly start to forget things and they change. It's a battle to keep the memories but at the same time that battle gets harder and harder to fight as the disease progresses. You learn to cherish every moment you have with a loved one with alzehmiers because there will come a day were they no longer remember you. It's a very touching story and shows alzhemiers from the perspective of the patient before and after she starts to get more ill. -@nae1227211 of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library Unlike many other books I've read, this one didn't seem to resonate with me very strongly. Shortly after I read it, I was unable to recount the intricate details inside the plot. However, there are some great take home messages that I would recommend everyone give a shot. Briggs, the protagonist, is a teenage guy who finds a job to get away for the summer. He works for an elderly lady by Lake Michigan, and journeys through the ups and downs of self discovery. Having been told by his father all his life that he must earn money in his future prospects, he finds that there is more to life than simply that. The romance was sweet, but not too overwhelming. A 3/5 stars for me! @Siri of the Hamilton Public Library Teen Review Board At fifty years old, Alice Howland is a psychology professor at Harvard, a proud mother of three and a well-known person around Harvard. But when she starts forgetting things like her classes, what she is going to say and the names of people, she knows that something is not right. Then she receives a life-changing diagnosis, that impacts her kids, husband and her. When her Alzheimer's gets worse, Alice retires and tries to spend her last few years with her memory living in the moment of things. Still, Alice captures the perspective of a woman with early-onset Alzheimer's. This book was very good and it was one of my favourite books. This book almost made me cry, it was a very touching story with a good plot. Lisa Genova tells a very detailed story, I want everyone to read this book. I loved Still Alice. I recommend it for ages twelve and older. Rating- 5/5 stars - @readit12 of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library
