I never realized how serious alzheimer's was until I read this book. I always thought that you just forgot minor things here and there, but I never thought that it could kill someone. I really was shocked when Charlie died because of his disease, and I never thought it could get that serious. Throughout the whole book Charlie forgot minor things, like the store owners name, or when he thought he was still a teenager, but I never thought it would lead to him falling off the bleachers at a football game and dying. It was a sad ending to the book POP, but it was a good lesson for me to learn, and that was to never take any kind of disease lightly. Now I see why Troy wanted to keep Charlie's disease a secret throughout the whole book.
