Summary: AN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFULLY WRITTEN PLAY!
Review: I'm an eleven year old girl, and I believe that this wonderful book was written for all ages. It is definitely in my top ten. This is the best account of Helen Keller's life, a beautifully written script filled with flashbacks and fight scenes. A real heartwarmer. You gotta try it!

Summary: The Miracle Worker Book Review
Review: The book The Miracle Worker by William Gibson is written exceptionally. It is about Helen Keller (def/blind child) and how she is taught how to communicate.
Her teacher was a woman named Annie Sullivan. The story is told from Annie's view in the first person. Throughout the book Annie tries different methods of teaching Helen how to communicate. Finally, one method of hers works. At this point Helen understands that objects have names. By memorizing the hand motions (sign language) previously Helen knows the names for everything.
Because Helen can't talk, hear or see William Gibson describes everything she does in great detail. This gives the reader many visuals in their mind while they are reading. You can almost see Helen feeling things and you can also get a picture in your mind of what she looks like. At the beginning of the book, we don't really know what to think of Helen and Annie because of some of their actions. Helen as anyone could imagine is not well behaved and is a mess. Annie is very strict with Helen and other than getting very upset when Helen disobeys her she is a pretty quiet person. However, as the book goes on we learn to love both of these characters because we understand where they are coming from.
I would strongly recommend reading this book to gain a greater appreciation for the lives of Helen Keller and Annie Sullivan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The moving accounts of the inarticulate Helen Keller
Review: The Miracle Worker is a timeles piece of American literature and the book comments on the comprehensive view of human nature through the character of Helen Keller. Blind, deaf, and dumb she stood and faced her fears in the face of harm.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A welcome addition to the cyberpunk genre
Review: The Miracle Worker is the astonishing tale of a blind and deaf cypherpunk named Helen who overcomes her disabilities with the help of a chopshop worker-turned-doctor named Anne. Helen lost her sight and hearing in a hacking session gone horribly wrong. She flatlines, but Anne brings her back from certain death.

After a lot of soul-searching, Helen is able to netrun once again. Anne develops specialized wetware, turning Helen into a cyborg.

Helen's first interactions with Black ICE in this new form are nailbitingly tense. It's only with the help of Anne that Helen is able to confront her own personal daemons.

The Miracle Worker is a welcome addition to the cyberpunk genre, and I highly recommend it. William Gibson is to be commended.
