Summary: Masterwork of craft
Comment: What impressed me immediately about this book, and continues to impress me, is how seamlessly Joanne Greenberg entered the point of view of a deaf-blind character. The sensory images in this book are flawlessly tactile or odors or taste--when we are inside the protagonist's head there are no visual or auditory images at all, the ones we who see and hear gravitate toward most quickly--And yet, for me, one with both sight and hearing, the sensory experience of this book is remarkably rich. This is a tremendous feat, one to be admired, and for that reason I will continue to recommend this book, despite the sad ending and bleak, and sadly true, portrait of the way deaf-blind adults are treated in this society.

Rating: 2
Summary: a good read for one interested in the blind and deaf
Comment: The book was great for learning how someone who is both deaf and blind views the world. Sadly, I felt exhausted after finishing it because this man's life went by so slowly, like it would never end or bring lasting happiness.
