I bought this book and I had my fingers crossed for a wow aftermath. <br /><br />I have Still Alice to read - I think that's her first book - another one about memory and the havoc Alzheimer has on the main character's life.<br /><br />Maybe we should time our reading for Still Alice ?

STILL ALICE had a very personal connection with my life, Alzheimer's, and Lisa Genova nailed that disease, in my opinion. She is very gifted I think in making a reader understand these neurological conditions without overburdening the story with too much science. I think that is such a service to readers. We learn but we also enjoy the story. My experience with LEFT NEGLECTED is much the same as yours - not a fan of Sarah at first, came to like and respect her as time goes on. I can't wait for the next book and hope that Lisa Genova doesn't run out of neurology to help us explore. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051103500012292266.post-86127838285431614582011-07-07T11:17:44.699-05:002011-07-07T11:17:44.699-05:00I just turned this book down and after reading you...I just turned this book down and after reading your review, I'm kicking myself.
