"By far this is one of the best NONFICTION books out there for discussion. It flows well, plum full of interesting situations that will spur many a conversations. Lots of social media material available also for extra value content, and I do believe that the author Bill Dedman is quite open to Skype interviews.

"If your not a SciFi lover, its okay..because this book isn't about aliens and creatures from other planets, its about One man trying to get back to home, its very witty and even comical in areas. Character depth is amazing and gives lots of discussable questions. Its also being made into a film staring Matt Damon, so again another angle for discussion... suggested for groups looking to try something different. "

"Though Lisa Genova has written other books that are just as good. Still Alice will always be my favorite. Lisa has a beautiful way of writing that absorbs you into the story, you get invested in the characters and in the 'situation' that has arisen around Alice's fading memory. "

Beautiful characters and a story that compliments so many areas of interested. This book is also a movie staring Helen Mirren -given another element of discussion. (book to movie adaptations"
