Not the book for Lewy Body Demetia by Messy Christina (Somerset, UK)  2 Stars
March 26, 2009
I was looking for a book that would cover Lewy Body Dementia, the second-most common type of dementia after Alzheimer's. This wasn't it. There is a small section on LBD, but the main emphasis is on Frontotemporal dementia. Far more information, and more specific and up-to-date information on Lewy Body dementia is available on the internet from the LBD association.

truly enlightening by Patricia S. ElBayly (Friedens, PA USA) 5 Stars
November 16, 2008
When dementia creeps into a diagnosis, and age is a factor, AD seems to always be the 'next step' in the thought process. As I read more, I doubted the 'next step'. The symptoms just didn't fit. This book opened a whole new way of thinking about dementia and in our case, described our situation to a tee. It even surprised our PCP. It's a real find for the lay person looking for answers in the maze of stereotypes re: dementia.

helpful book by Francis Molenda 5 Stars
September 07, 2008
This book is a very good resource if you have a loved one diagnosed with FTD (Frontal Temporal Dementia). There is very thorough information about this disease. It is a shock when a loved one receives this diagnosis but this book is a very thorough resource.
