Jul 24, 2018TEENREVIEWCREW rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
After reading Still Alice, I was very excited to read this book but I did not receive the same excitement from Left Neglected. Left Neglected is a good book, but I think it could have been written better. Sara Nickerson is a busy ‘super’ mom trying to do it all, she has three kids under the age of eight and works eighty hours a week. On her way to work she get distracted by her cell phone and in the blink of an eye she is in the hospital. Sara Nickerson has Left Neglect, a condition where the brain completely ignores the left side. After three months in the hospital in a wheelchair, Sara starts to wonder if her life will ever be the same. Left Neglected was good, but it got boring in some parts. One thing that I disliked about the book was the dreams at the beginning of the chapter. The dreams made no sense and they were very annoying to read. I have never heard of Left Neglect so I was interested in reading the book and overall I did enjoy the book. This book is considered an ‘adult read’ but I think that it’s suitable for young readers thirteen and older. Rating- 4/5 stars. - @readit12 of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library
