Good discussion after reading this book. Format appealed as did topic. A fairly easy read, not especially academic. Darryl Sherwood's notes were especially good.

Members felt relief that their forgetfulness was normal! We all vowed to pay attention to where we park our car and leave our glasses! Book was well received by everyone and we felt we had learned a lot about memory. Well pitched for our understanding.

3 thought the book very informative. The other 7 of us found it very repetitive and felt it could have been written as a pamphlet. It did create a good discussion though as we are older!

All found the book interesting and informative. To discover how the memory works, the different types of memory, and how we might improve it and prevent its loss, has to be useful! In fact it changes one's attitude to the business of remembering... Very good notes.
