Read by Kateo Griffith and Lisa Flanagan.
I have been wanting to read this since it was first announced. I think I probably should have read it in print form; reading a book about Deaf culture in an audial medium was...interesting. That being said, I recognized a lot of moments in this novel as close to my own experience or those around me. I think Nović has a way of writing that both educates and entertains at the same time and though none of the information was a revelation for me, the story was enjoyable. It wasn't the most fascinating book I've read but it was definitely worth the read. The story was a good vehicle for the medium and I was never bored but I was never deeply hooked. Again, it's possible that it's because I didn't read it in print that I didn't feel as drawn in as I might have been. I would still recommend it.
4.5/5
