mima90 's review for:
The Story of My Life
by Helen Keller
Dnf
I‘m sure Helen Keller was an impressive person that deserves admiration, but I just can‘t with this book and all it‘s descriptions of visual imagery and sounds that Keller couldn‘t possibly have experienced for herself. It just takes me out of it everytime. I know this might be deliberate to appeal more to readers who can see and hear and i also know that language is very visually charged, but mentions of snow that sparkles in the sun, reflections of trees in the water or singing birds just seem way too unnecessary and it irks me too much to finish.
