We read this one for Book Club last year and everyone said it was a wonderful but scary read. We all felt that every time we forgot where something was or someone's name, that it was the start of our slide down that slippery slope.
That being said, it was a wonderful book, generated a lot of discussion, and well worth the read. I would recommend it highly.
