Searingly truthful & painful to read on all levels, for all readers but most especially if one has had a loved one go through & succumb to Alzheimers.
Ms. Gillies story is interwoven with neurophysiology and incisive deduction. She explores the mind, the self, the core of what we all are - and how this cruel disease robs the sufferer of every part of it. If you have cared for someone with this disease, you will relate to her account on many, many levels. Highly recommended.

I found this book to be informative, sad, funny at times, and hauntingly familiar......as my mother has Alzheimer's........and I struggled with some of the same crazy happenings. I have read many other books about dementia.....but this one weaves the facts into the book in such a way that I wasn't bored by them...but learned a lot..........I would recommend this book HIGHLY.......and I do.....to not only caregivers of dementia patients......but to anyone who wants to learn more, or just be taken away and live Andreas life.......and say...WOW.....could I do that?

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has a family member suffering from dementia or alzheimers. Very informative.
