First Post

When reading this book, we find out that Charlie, a retired NFL linebacker, has Alzheimer's.  I did not understand why the family had taken so long to get some help for Charlie.  The family had waited until the end of the book just to be put on the waiting list for the next room available in a retirement home.  I think Charlie's family should have gotten help as soon as possible.

    Sean, I also agree that the family should have gotten help for Charlie much sooner. If they would have, Charlie may not have have died so suddenly or he would not have gotten into so much trouble with Marcus. Though, if they did get help, there may not have been such an interesting plot.

    Sean, I also agree. They should've realized how dangerous Alzheimer's could be. They should have gotten help or seen someone earlier about Charlie's sickness. I think the family wanted to protect Charlie's image more than they wanted to protect his health. which was the wrong thing to do
