4.0 out of 5 stars Insightful, Funny, and Overpriced Sep 1 2003
By Tom
This book is an easy read. All you have to do is sit back and it will entertain you. It has many humorous parts, but they're all realistic as well. Being a Deaf woman, I know. There are some cute sketches, but nothing really eye-catching in the way of illustrations. My only (and I DO mean ONLY) criticism is the price. It is a rather small book (a square with only about 100 pages) and much better suited in the used price range.

If you're hearing and you want to learn abour the REAL Deaf world, pick this book up. It's worth it. If you're Deaf and you want to chuckle and sigh as you read about things you know all-too-well, this book is a fun read. I recommend it whole-heartedly! :o)

3.0 out of 5 stars Required for a class Sep 30 2001
By Laura
I gave it a three because it wasn't too bad, but I know that I wouldn't have read it if I didn't have to. I had to read this book for a class along with "Deaf in America". This one was a little more light-hearted. It had funny little stories and jokes. Deaf in America was actually about the past and more of the culture.

1.0 out of 5 stars light reading April 28 2001
By Joseph Silver
I was very disappointed with this book. I bought it in order to get some in-depth descriptions of deaf culture. I knew it was in anecdotal form, but I thought the anecdotes would have a little more in the way of substance. Instead, I got a bunch of very light, largely uninformative and uninteresting anecdotes. What I found particularly annoying was that some anecdotes were absentmindedly repeated throughout the book. For anyone looking to get deeper insight into deaf culture, I would instead recommend "The Other Side of Silence".
