Turn of Mind Audiobook

" This book was an interesting look at Alzheimer's and what a person with the disease might experience. It was at times a bit tricky to follow who was speaking (it's told in first person but there's a lot of quoting others). Nevertheless, it was an interesting read but I got kind of tired of it about 3/4 of the way through and was ready for the conclusion. There wasn't a character that I loved or was rooting for, but maybe that was the point - how we're all flawed and have our regrets or short-comings - or downright misdeeds! "
