Does what it says on the tin.

A wonderful resource for those who know next to nothing about dementia and/or Alzheimers disease. Lots of information, guidance and links available. As an American publication it's obviously full of additional health insurance info. but in general it's a comprehensive overview for the lay person.

Doesn’t work as audiobook

This works better as a physical or kindle book.
This might have worked if pdf downloads of the diagrams to which it refers were made available with audible book.
It also is USA based ... which also makes it less relevant to UK listeners
