I have a mild cognitive function issue so reading the potential risks or what may develop from the point of a patient instead of the doctor is invaluable. It was a little tough to get through sometimes because not only was the author a teacher and not a writer, but he was also in the stages of Alzheimer's so you had to sort things out from time to time to follow along, that being said, what a remarkable book! I now know what I may end up experiencing through my process of dementia, which will be an invaluable tool in my own care should I need it. This book is not for the faint of heart I must warn you, and if you have someone in your life with Alzheimer's and have no idea what to expect you may find it a bit brutal. It is open, honest and teaches good lessons. I'm glad I purchased it. It cleared up a lot of myths and helped me to get my head around Alzheimer's, dementia and other brain injury and diseases. -Serena W.
