Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The biography of a deaf doctor
Review: Excellent autobiography & well worth reading. I should explain here that I prefer biographies that do not indulge in psychoanalysis of the biographee. For this reason, I often prefer those that are written in first person & those that are written by the person himself/herself.

Zazove does an excellent job. His writing is very clear & flows well. His life story is interesting, if for no other reason than to dispel so many of the hearing people's assumptions about those who lack hearing.

I did find the chronology a little hard to follow, as he jumps back & forth between his current practice in Utah & his childhood & academic career. He says little about his childhood, probably because it was very normal with little by way of shocking or horrifying events. Highly recommended for those who like biographies/autobiographies and for those who are interested in the life of a deaf doctor.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic Book for hearing and the deaf.
Review: I am going deaf due to a tumor and this is the best book I have read yet. It is not easy going from hearing to deaf at 39 and
I am trying to understand what it is I will be going through in the next couple of years and this book has been of great help.
I wish Philip, MD Zazove would wirte more books.

I recomend this to anyone who is hearing or Deaf or HOH.
He explains everything in simple terms and he is very funny.
He wrote about things I never would have thought of.
I am glad I found his book.
