"This wasn't quite what I was looking for. The reading material was stiff and the terminology often difficult. It was an interesting read when I understood what was being talked about."
"A good overview of Deaf Culture - some parts were humorous to me and it helped that I knew sign language, but it is still a book that can be appreciated by all."
"great little book! This story was wonderful. A deaf couple checked into a hotel and in the middle of the night the husband has to get out to the car to get his medicine. Upon returning returning from the parking lot and facing the multiple levels he forgets where his rooms was. He tried a few doors but knew that his wife would not be able to hear him knock. He set off his car alarm and honked until all the hotel rooms but one turns on their lights. So he found his room with his sound sleeping wife in it. It also touches a lot on deaf children and trying to understand their sound filled environment. Deaf children being not sure what they can and cannot do in public bathrooms because they don't know what produces sounds and what not.
I suggest it to anyone interested in ASL and the deaf culture."
