Delightful, splendid, and informative!!
A really wonderful book!
This book was really informative and has helped me embrace my own deaf identity, after years of feeling that I’m not hearing enough for one world or deaf enough for another.
I feel like everyone who knows or works with deaf people should have read it as a ‘this is what it’s like’ guide, as many professionals don’t seem to ‘get it’.
Also I think this might be one of the first deaf friendly audiobooks as Samantha’s delivery was exceptional. clear and had fluency but a little bit slower to allow for processing time.
Thank you!

Brilliant
This book is one of the best book I have read, it contains everything you need on the subject of deafness. as someonet worried about the possibility of having to have hearing aids in the future. I looked hard to find books that gave me a lot of information. this is definitely the best book that I have found. it contains everything that you could really need to inform you on deafness. it's well written and brilliantly narrated. thank you to the author for a brilliant book, well presented and informative. if you're having problems with your hearing then this is a must read and you won't regret getting it.
