It was very interesting and I enjoyed the way it wove a narrative out of the author’s personal stories, fairy tales and research. I’m always afraid I’ll get bored and stop retaining information when listening to a nonfiction audiobook, but with this one I was always engaged and just wanted to keep listening! If you have any interest in disability history and/or fairy tales I recommend this book! It’s not a light read as far as the subject matter goes — through the ages disabled people have experienced & still experience terrible violence and discrimination — but I never found it depressing (at least not for long). I learned a lot & saw the deeper history behind some things I already knew.
