I thought this was a very good book. It was well-written, but dragged slightly at times. The author could have knocked off about 30 pages and I would have been thrilled. Didn't see the end coming at all. I would def recommend this one.
I've worked with Alzheimer's patients for 16 years now. I think the author really did her homework on this one. Like "Turn of Mind", it was an accurate depiction. I was glad the author ended the book with Alice still functioning fairly well and with her dignity in tact. It was fitting with the way Alice led her life and it would have been hard to read about her in the "ugly" end stage of Alzheimer's. Great read.
This book was lame and cheesy and the writing was fair at best, but I was curious enough about how it ended to finish it.
Olive Kitteridge is definitely the most unlikable character I have ever read about in a book. And Henry Kitteridge deserved WAY better.
2.5. Started out good, but totally went sour. I don't think this book was executed well at all. I really liked Astrid's character, and that was about it.
This was a page-turner that I read in 24 hours. It wasn't quite a 5-star for me but it kept me interested and intrigued. I recommend.
