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.

评分严格遵守只在通勤的Skytrain上的15分钟里才会去看断断续续一个月才读完的《Still Alice》。我不得不说这是除悬疑和情色小说以外唯一一部让我感受到了自己心跳的一部作品。身为哈佛大学语言学教授的Alice被一纸早期阿尔海默症（旧称老年痴呆症，由于其消极及歧视涵义而今不再被...

What if one day I don't remember you, and the feelings of loving you? This is a great book, and the author had done a good research in her academic field. I cried several times while reading this, and I hardly found out this is just a novel until I saw the back cover. Definitely is a book that everyone should read for their families' sake.
评分Heartbreaking to see an extremely accomplished woman losing/forgetting everything. Picturing Julianne Moore the whole time I was reading it makes it even harder.
评分What if you were to lose every memory you ever had and forget everyone you ever loved?
评分很有意思的一本书，以前对老年痴呆症一无所知，看完了有了更人性深刻的认识。
评分尽管是被诊断出Alzheimerz早期 整个故事讲起来还是淡淡的 却让我们残忍地看着Alice 从忘记把手机放在哪里 找不到回家的路 到忘记自己的学术 成就 记不清深爱的家人的脸 最后 丢掉自己 从一个著书无数的心理学教授变成了一个咿呀学语的婴儿 坐在小推车里 惊恐地看着周围似曾相识的脸庞 不懂他们在说什么做什么 书中有段Alice说比起Alzheimer 她更希望得Cancer 起码还有希望去战胜它 就算痛苦起码自己还是清醒的 死也死得“光荣" 可命运怎能由人讨价还价 它只会抽丝剥茧般地捆住你的心 what if i forget you and forget my feelings of loving you 听的有声书 Genova的声音让摩尔的角色代入感并不强 但很期待电影
