This one was actually surprisingly good, but not in the way I had thought it would.
First of all, listening to this on audiobook was for sure the way to go - it is ironic that I listened to this, a book that is so focused on deafeness. However, even though it's in audio, it was such a increadible touch to include the "sound" of people signing whenever someone was doing that, such an amazing touch.
In this book we follow multiple people, all related to the school despicted here and all deaf in one way or another. The author as someone that belongs to this community, really delieveres the hard and good stuff in such a way, very touching.
I did enjoy the overall plot. However, the ending felt very rushed, I expected a bit more. Otherwise, a great book.
