Great page turner, if you are looking for a serious read. It is informative as it provides an in depth view of Alzheimer’s Disease. Lisa Genova does a great job on describing the symptoms and emotions faced by victims of this terrible disease. Readers would also feel sympathetic towards the main character and her family members in this novel as her symptoms get progressively worse.
