Was lucky enough to see a preview of Still Alice last night as part of The Light House Cinema Book Club. I loved the book! I thought it really captured the struggle of Alice and how she was dealing with her disease, rather than looking at her, you were shown the disease from her point of view. I was in bits at the end of it.
I ended up getting it without knowing what it was about (Yes, I'm impulsive about it) and had just heard the title. I don't have it on my list, but it'll likely be a bonus book, especially since my own mom currently suffers from mild dementia.

Has anyone else seen the film and read the book?
