Title: Alzheimers + untreated depression: almost unbearably sad
Review: I'm in the minority...I was disappointed in this book. It feels almost cruel to write a negative review because the author is admirably open and sincere, and his suffering is profound. But he seems to suffer from untreated depression as well as from Alzheimers. His unremitting anger and despair make his experiences (and ours as readers) even sadder than they need to be. I kept wishing he would take the energy he was using to write the book and put it into being more open with his family, or finding a therapist or a hospice-type program that would provide him and his family with ongoing support. Altogether a sad and moving book, but also a frustrating one.
Is the review positive or negative?
