Seeds of Disquiet: One Deaf Womans Experience

Rating:
Summary: A Whole New Understanding
Review: I am amazed by this woman!! I grew up in a deaf household and being hearing myself, I have a whole new understanding of what my parents went through during their lives. I think anyone with a curiosity for deafness should read this book because it is extraordinary. I applaud Cheryl Heppner for surviving in the hearing world and finding her way.

Summary: Inspiring Life, But Difficult and Monotonous Read
Review: There is no doubt that Cheryl Heppner rose above her diversity to do many great things. I was particularly excited to know she had an autobiography out, but I must admit I was rather dissapointed at the this book.

I started this book four times and three times I couldn't get past the middle. The fourth was forced and I did finish the book. Although it has some interesting insight, it's rather dull and I found myself asking, "Why has she gone on for four pages about (such and such) boring subject," many times throughout the book. I am not insulting Cheryl herself or her life by no means. But to sit through that book again would be ... well, unthinkable and I don't recommend it for reading pleasure. Perhaps for a sleep aid.... That's just this deafie's opinion. :o(
