"I really enjoy Oliver Sacks' books. His writing style is informative and engaging. His enthusiasm for learning always shines throughout his books. This book was less effective than some of his other books because it's three essays about deafness joined in one book. There was repetition within some of the essays. Still, I learned a lot about sign language and how it came about. I found the book really interesting."
