mugglemom 's review for:
The Story of My Life
by Helen Keller
4.5 stars - quick read
I couldn't help thinking the whole time a couple of things:
1. Why is this her only memoir written by Helen? She was 22yrs old at the time and died 60 years later?
2. Why didn't Anne Sullivan write her own book?
3. Anne deserves WAY MORE credit than she got in this book but again, Helen was only 22yrs old so that probably explains it...
4. Wow, one of her biggest concerns was that she plagiarized a story without knowing it...I'm more impressed at her brain than her faux paux. She was finger read the story not long after she learned sign language (btw 8-10yrs old) but Helen wrote her story when she was about 15yrs old - the f*cking impressive to me!
5. Why didn't she write more about her family?
Still, for the time period in her life this book covers, Helen is inspiring.
