A review by rachel_a_
Left Neglected by Lisa Genova
3.0
Genova is writing what she knows here. Still Alice was a 5 star read for me and this mirrors much of the book- high functioning married mother gets a neurological problem.
However, the character here is far less likable compared to Alice. Her hours devoted to work seem to be competitively motivated rather than a passion. The inner monologues don't make you empathise with Sarah like they did Alice.
Symptoms are repeated too much and read as filler or as though the writer forgot sge already wrote about it.
This didn't need to be 400pages (the version I had isn't listed on here). Based on this I wouldn't have read Still Alice , because I would assume the topics and character were do simular that SA wouldn't be good
I'm glad I read still Alice first!
