À propos de cet audio

 In Lisa Genova’s extraordinary New York Times bestselling novel, an accomplished woman slowly loses her thoughts and memories to Alzheimer’s disease—only to discover that each day brings a new way of living and loving. Now a major motion picture starring Julianne Moore, Alec Baldwin, Kate Bosworth, and Kristen Stewart!

Alice Howland, happily married with three grown children and a house on the Cape, is a celebrated Harvard professor at the height of her career when she notices a forgetfulness creeping into her life. As confusion starts to cloud her thinking and her memory begins to fail her, she receives a devastating diagnosis: early onset Alzheimer’s disease. Fiercely independent, Alice struggles to maintain her lifestyle and live in the moment, even as her sense of self is being stripped away. In turns heartbreaking, inspiring, and terrifying, Still Alice captures in remarkable detail what it’s like to literally lose your mind...

Reminiscent of A Beautiful Mind, Ordinary People, and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Still Alice packs a powerful emotional punch and marks the arrival of a strong new voice in fiction.©2009 Lisa Genova; (P)2009 Simon & Schuster Alzheimer et démence Fiction Fiction de genre Fiction féminine Fiction littéraire Troubles et maladies Émouvant Démence Maladie d’Alzheimer

Other than the wonderfully written tragedy of Alzheimer's and Alice, the narrator had a beautiful, smooth voice to listen to.

A beautiful, tragic reality

I enjoyed the story as my family is going through something similar, but the narrator's voice was too monotone and lacked any cadence that made you want to engage.

Good story but the author should stick to writing

The story was great. Gave me understanding and insight into the nature of this disease and raised lots of questions/debates about medical assisted or otherwise death or holding on to the life you have….

The author narrated and probably shouldn’t have. I almost gave up to just read the book instead because I found it so distractingly flat at first, but I kept going and the story was enough to get me through in the end.

Definitely a must read, but if you have time, maybe read the physical book. If you don’t, push through with the audiobook. It’s worthwhile.

A clear, empathetic window into this condition

If I had anything negative to say, it would be that I didn't want it to end. The story was beautiful and Lisa Genova has the perfect voice for it.

Loved it!

The story, itself, is good. Compelling. Sadly, however, I found myself disliking PROFESSOR Alice Howland. She was too INTO herself. HER accomplishments, I'm NOT going to be popular with this opinion, but Alzheimer's actually HUMANIZED this self-congratulatory linguistics mastermind, who was also such a whiney uber feminist, it makes me wonder WHY she even got married, let alone had kids.

Which brings me to poor Lydia. The youngest daughter Alice couldn't approve of because she wasn't doing what would make ALICE proud. She was her own person. (God forbid) I love the girl's spunk, though. If I had written the story, I would have had Lydia issue an ultimatum.

"Mom, I'm 22. A legal adult, whatever you might believe. If you cannot tolerate my choices. If we are going to get into an argument, every time you come here, because you need to be right, then maybe you should stop coming to visit. It's a waste of time. Your 'love' for me is conditioned on what YOU want. What would make YOU proud. Well, I'm going to do what I want. If you don't care to hear that then don't waste your time or mine. Just stay away." Even better, I wish Lydia had been able to over-hear her mother tell her father NOT to support her acting class. In Lydia's place, I would have blocked Alice from my phone and spent Christmas day at the Airport, waiting for a return flight to Los Angeles, NEVER to see or speak to Alice Howland again.

There's some narration in chapter one that made Alice sound like she HAD to have her kids, just to prove a point about how she, as a WOMAN, could do ten things at one time. Thankfully, the first two kids lived up to what SHE wanted, but damn that Lydia for being an individual!

I found myself being much more tolerant of Alice with Alzheimer's since she she was no longer enamored of the intellect she was losing. She mourned her former genius, and yet, to my surprise, she found she would miss the family her Alzheimer's-eroded memory was taking from her. Something that WASN'T about Alice.
