"I loved this book. Initially, I was intimidated by Ong's reputation and I was convinced I would be swimming in a morass of esoteric, dense, unfathomable, theoretical musings. Instead, I found his work very readable and informative. Even though I didn't agree with all of his ideas regarding the movement of societies from oral to written cultures, I still thought his views were compelling. It was a pleasant surprise. I started the book being afraid of the impersonal author known as "Ong," but I finished the book feeling like I had a new Jesuit uncle."
"A book that gives profound insight on how a literate's mind works and what do we miss in our development by skating over oral culture. I can derive interesting implications for my work as therapist from this book, I hope others can too."
