Hey Sunflower ... I also just finished "Still Alice" and I thought it was an excellent book. I sat down and read it from cover to cover. I went on to read other books by Lisa Genova.
"Still Alice" is definitely scary in parts. It describes a brilliant woman trying to "outthink" her disease and plan ahead to deal with her eventual deterioration. It sounds depressing, but it's a compelling book. I highly recommend it.
