I looked forward to reading this book as I'm a big fan of Lisa Genova, having enjoyed all her previous novels very much.
I realised the subject matter would be tough to read but that for me wasn't the problem. I didn't like the two main characters at all! I felt sorry for Richard and his failing health but couldn't warm to him at all as he seemed such a cold man, in spite of being a successful pianist in touch with his creative side. His ex-wife Karina had much the same effect on me.
Lisa has obviously done a huge amount of research but the whole story just fell flat with me and I didn't get to the end which is very unusual.
I read six or seven books a week and enjoy a wide variety of subjects but not this one!
I'm grateful to win the book as I think I'd have felt cheated if I'd spent money on it. I hope that doesn't sound too bad!
