A review by shealwaysreads
The Story of My Life, with eBook by Helen Keller, Frances Cassidy
3.0
I first learned about Helen Keller in grade school. And seriously what’s not to be impressed with. But I really couldn’t tell you anymore than I knew she was deaf and blind. That she learned to speak and write despite the challenges.
So when the opportunity came to enhance my knowledge I took it. And I took it by listening to the autobiography she wrote herself.
I found out more than I thought I would have. It was read almost you instead of at you. A diary formatting while not actually being a diary.
I was impressed with the narration as it the voice was positive and uplifting. As always though I bumped the speed up to 1.5x. That seems to be the ideal speed for me to listen to audiobooks in.
While I found parts of the books to be remarkable (the first 50%) others dragged. Towards the ends it became more mundane, everyday liking or activities. I wanted more though. I wanted the key points not what became a daily schedule.
Still none the less it did provide a new insight one of more of a personal level that isn’t taught in school.
