Has anyone read the above book? Found it excellent, although very harrowing but really enlightening. Could relate to lots of it, laugh out loud in places and very sad in others. I borrowed it from the library but would like to read it again, x

Review
'Deeply loving yet wryly comic... The most moving portrait of this cruel disease you'll ever read.' --Daily Mail

'This is not just another isn't dementia awful moan. It is a very honest and clear account of five years of a son looking after his mother - at home, in care homes and hospitals.... Slevin is a great raconteur, and the book is a page-turner. Many of the pages made me laugh out loud... A marvellous read.' -- Dementia Positive

I have read it and found it excellent and well written. Coincidentally I found that the author's mother was someone I knew aittle, as she lived in the same care home as mine.

I read this book when it was just literally released and enjoyed reading it. it is filled with humour and is really heartwarming. however, it is equally sad and you can really empathise with the author. i think it is well written and i have suggested that people read it.
