Hey, hope everyone is doing well. Just wanting to check that I am on the blog. Reviews to come soon.
The minor value I found in The PostMortal is that while we often wish that life and youthfulness here/now could last forever, if that were the case most of our social systems would break down to humanity's lowest common denominator. A straight-forward discussion of that potential would suit me more than 300 pages of someone trying to beat the anguishing odds for 60 years. :o)
Still Alice was somehow soothing, portraying a rather quick, gentle and rationalized passage into early Alzheimer's Disease. I doubt it's often that gentle nor rational, but comforting that it might be for some. Interesting that the theatrical daughter turns out to be the best equipped to cope with the mother's progressive disease.
On to the 3rd book! Thanks for lending these Dr. Wassel.
