SAMPLE EXCERPT:

“What was the inspiration behind the creation of this book?”

Still Alice is an excellent piece of writing that narrates the life of Alice from the moment she experiences the first symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Lisa Genova stated that one of her main influences behind this wonderful book was her grandmother. She was 85 years old when she was diagnosed with the disease, and Lisa tried to read almost every book that was available about the disease in the market. She read many books and collected too much information mainly because she wanted to understand what was going on in her grandmother’s brain and how she could help her feel better

Bibliography

Foreword

A personal note from the editor…

What if…? was the question that gave birth to Behind the Story Books.

When I pick up a book, from the first letter to the last, I am often completely enveloped in the novel - I’m laughing, rejoicing, fighting, and crying, side by side next to the characters. Even long after the book is finished, I found myself reminiscing about the scenes and characters over and over again in my head like a broken tape recorder – I was left high and very dry.

One particularly pleasant evening, after closing the last page to a wonderful story, I just HAD to find out everything about the book - how it was created, how it was developed, who the author was, - everything.

This sudden spurt of passion has led me to create and develop Behind the Story Books, to share with you - my fellow book lovers – a fan’s love for books. I hope you can see the love that went into the creation this book. Please enjoy this book and support Behind the Story Books. It is created for a fan, by a fan.

So without further ado, I present to you…

Reviews for Still Alice - Behind the Story (A Book Companion)

[KarenMcBean · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

I didn't like anything about it. It was poorly written, silly and pointless.
