Luca Campobasso's Reviews > Seeing Voices

The first part is absolutely amazing, the most engaging part of the book probably, where Sacks describes how deaf people were unjustly treated in the past, feelings about being deaf, and a delightful part with insights of linguistics of Sign, which is a must read for anyone interested in languages I think.

I couldn't stand though the part of praising-the-deaf, where I couldn't continue reading on, as I didn't find useful spending time reading several pages of glorification. I understand that deaf are better in visual skills, but take it on for 6-7 pages (I got tired after these, maybe more) is exhausting. Also, redundancy in information is not helping here (although that is present in most of the books I read from him).
