Life is unpredictable. We don't know what will happen the next day or the next second. Don't you agree? This book is another masterpiece in addition to the book last year about a life threatening cancer which happens to teenagers. This year I advise you to join me again to understand another disease, Alzheimer's disease (腦退化症), which happens to older people. "Still Alice" helps readers to understand the impacts that the disease bring to patients from their own perspectives. You may have known that people who have Alzheimer's disease have weak memory. They cannot remember what they have done a few days ago or even just yesterday. However, this is not the worse case scenario and it could get much worse. Imagine if you forget where the toilet is at home or you could not remember who your mother is, how would you feel? Panic? Anxiety? or Agony? All these words are just not enough to describe the suffering of Alzheimer's patients. Books are not just there to help as acquire knowledge. They also give us an opportunity to step into the shoes of others and understand what people of different kinds from their own perspectives. You see in their eyes and walk in their paths. And that I believe is the best way for us to have a closer relationship with people around us.
