Not nearly as good as Still Alice. I think the main problem is that it is a first person narrative (and Still Alice was third person). I find 1st person narration the hardest to believe, the hardest for a writer to pull off. And in this case, the main character was not that lovable. But also, because the narrator is telling the story, we don't get to learn any of the interesting medical details of the condition "Left Neglected." In the first part of the book, pre-accident, the narrator tells us how great she is at her job, how great her marriage is, how much she loves her kids (although she doesn't seem to spend any time with them except when she feeds them ice cream before putting them to bed--sorry for the judgmental aside). We can't exactly believe her, and it is not until much later in the book that she does something to show she IS a mom, when she pays attention to her son enough to help him with his learning disability. Does she ever notice that her mom's health isn't great, even as she is giving the details that any reader would pick up on? As other reviewers have noted, she is a boring main character, and a stereotype. Thus, many readers will identify with her--they will feel like they know her or they will be like her--perhaps that is why there are so many 5-star reviews for this. I was looking forward to reading this, because Still Alice was so interesting and made me think so much. I hope that Genova does not move towards lighter, chick-lit fiction (seems to be plenty of that out there!) and instead gives us more of the books that only she can write, that bring brain science into real life.
