I’ve just finished reading this book. It was so powerful! There is so much to think about. I didn’t enjoy reading it, but I’m really glad read it. I think people need to be warned about the horrific thoughts and scenes in the book – it isn’t for the faint hearted!

I can’t imagine what I’d do in the same situation. It was all frighteningly realistic. This sort of thing could happen to us at any point. It’s enough to make me run off to the country and try to become self sufficient as soon as possible.

Thank you for the recommendation!

I always throw people off when I answer this question. Why? Because I’m Deaf. Given a choice I would rather neither Blind nor Deaf. If I had to choose, Deaf would be my choice. Even after having lived with it for the past 4 years. I think if you have a chance of seeing or hearing for years before either strikes you at least have memory of sight or sound.

In my case if you describe how something sounds, I can pretty much grasp what your hearing. Lyrics to songs become a form of written poetry for me. Since I became Deaf later in life, I have an eloquent voice and can command over volume (not so easy when you can’t hear your own voice. I think you would be at more of a disadvantage Blind than Deaf. (Hugs)Indigo
