      I had to come up with excuses to read this book, since it is essentially geriatric neurology for the masses, and the information it presented was very familiar.

The writing flowed well, though, and there were some good ideas on how to present the issues to the patient. I skimmed this book very quickly, finishing it in about 4 hours
