The Woman Who Can't Forget: The Extraordinary Story of Living with the Most Remarkable Memory Known to Science--A Memoir Audiobook

" Very interesting story of a woman who literally cannot forget. I found all the info on memory and how it works fascinating. "

" Not only does she have an exceptional memory, she also has some real hoarding issues. What I thought might be a revelatory tale was actually just pitiable and sad. Not recommended. "

" have you ever thought about what a memory really is? how is it formed? how memories can change and revise themselves? a good read. "

" Fascinating. The kind of book you read so you can explain it to friends at weddings. Well, that's what I just did, but I guess it would work for other occasions, as well...Seriously, it will make you consider the importance of the things we remember--and the things we forget--in making us who we are. "

" Fascinating, but not interesting enough for me to finish the book. I would have liked the Reader's Digest version. "

" I was so excited to read about this and I was content with the final outcome. "

" I feel like a story that had the potential to be absolutely fascinating was not well dealt with. A bit egocentric...more the musings of a woman on random events in no particular order that a cohesive text. I was disappointed. "

" includes interesting observations on the role of memory in identity "

" Zzzzz zzzz zzzzzzzz... an interesting phenomenon, but a snore of a book. I'd much rather read the scientific papers on Price than her own repetitive ramblings. "

" What a strange thing is memory. "

" I was hoping for more science about how memory works. It was mildly interesting, but my pure stubborness is the only reason I finished the book. Jill's malady is probably very disturbing and debilitating to live with, but for the reader it sounds like a lot of self-pity. "

" Very interesting subject matter. "

" It's fascinating....for about 5 minutes. "

" Listened to on CD. I found this book fascinating, I just thought it was a tiny bit dry, but it is totally understandable why once you read it! I wish Jill a wonderful future. "

" The idea of the book was interesting but I couldn't finish it. I found it repetitive when it came to her telling you the kinds of things she'd remember... and then it started getting into her life story which frankly i just didn't find all that interesting. Couldn't finish it as much as I tried. "

" I was intrigued to read about Jill Price after coming across an article about her in Psychology Today. At first you think it would be amazing to remember every detail about your life but through Jill's narrative you understand what a blessing it is that memories dim and fade. "

" This was an interesting story. Some parts were rather redundant, but thought provoking, none the less. "

" This would be good as a news feature. It's just not entertaining enough for a book. "

" Started out well, but got less interesting at the 3/4 mark. Remarkable information about her memory. "

" It really irked me that ever page it seemed like, had to have a few sentences denoting how she remembered everything, and how it worked. It put me to sleep - literally - after the 24th page.... "

" I particularly enjoyed this as I love a true story and probably because I just watched a "house" episode on a woman with hypertheismic memory a few weeks ago. Lots of mixed reviews on this book but it was fascinating how her memory works and a very quick read (one afternoon). "

" have you ever thought about what a memory really is? how is it formed? how memories can change and revise themselves? a good read. "

" I was so excited to read about this and I was content with the final outcome. "

" Note: did not finish this audiobook. "

" Very good book. Nothing Earth shattering but it is very interesting to learn how her memory works. "

" The idea of the book was interesting but I couldn't finish it. I found it repetitive when it came to her telling you the kinds of things she'd remember... and then it started getting into her life story which frankly i just didn't find all that interesting. Couldn't finish it as much as I tried. "
