I went to a talk hosted by the author who gave away signed copies of her book at the end. The talk was okay.
The book basically asks the same couple of questions of several people in the field. The first: what would you tell the recently diagnosed? And the answer is always some form of "don't lose hope."
The second: When do you think we'll see a cure? The answer usually falls somewhere between 5 and 50 years.
So there, I just saved you from dragging your cranial wadding through this one.
As for me... I got nearly a hundred pages into it before quitting. I did not finish it. Books I didn't finish get one star.

I'm just going through the process now for my family. I particularly appreciated the different points of views and up to date reference section, which I needed. I found this book to be informative on a level I could understand and appreciated the personalization. Was recommended to me and I would gladly do the same.
