review 1: Short and easy to read book with some very helpful ideas. But I agree with the reviewer who found it hard to peg the author's audience. I think it could have used better editing. And it would have been nice to have been nice to have an index (or at least a more meaningful table of contents) so that you could go back and find those bits of useful information more easily. All that being said, I would still suggest giving it a read if someone you care about has AD.
review 2: I loved this book and I will be gifting it to everyone I know who is a caregiver or family member of someone with any form of dementia. I believe it should be required reading for all dementia care facilities. It is my thought that reading this book and applying the ideas in it would chang... moree a lot of the way patients are handled in these care facilities and add to better understanding and give some moments of joy even in the midst of this devastating disease to the patient, staff and family members. I think I will also give it to my children so just in case I ever develop dementia they will understand a little more and hopefully it will make caring for me easier. less
