Still Alice by Lisa Genova


Still Alice, is Lisa Genova's debut novel. Her novel keeps you immersed from start to finish. It is easy to forget that this is a work of fiction.

The characters are heartbreaking and nearly real. The story is written from Alice's, point of view on her incurable battle with Alzheimer's disease.

The books drains your emotionally and Alice becomes a memorable character.

This novel is riveting, terrifying and beautiful. I have never been so deeply affected and touched by a fictional character.

Still Alice is an unforgettable journey to an unimaginable place. A must read for all. Go out and purchase this book it's one you will want to keep on your book shelf.
