    Deaf-initely Cool!

    The liberal arts university for the Deaf, Gallaudet, published this book. The implicit acceptance in that act previews this tale's current picture of the Deaf's culture-in-culture. The Deaf live among us as coyotes live in housing tracts. Speaking it's own language, walking where it must for it's own survival, seeking out the opportunities where it finds it. Within this tale of whodunit complicity, we see this face of animal intensity ghosting over our own and blending with us, as the Deaf are indeed like us in very many respects and yet ... not so much. Read how the coping they perform with the devices and services that entwine their communication with the hearing world silently stalk this story and complicate it to a screaming stress intensity.

    Hard to put down!

    I'm hearing impaired, so when I realized that this was based on the deaf culture, curiosity got the best of me. Basically, this book is a who-dun-it, but the characters are either deaf, hard of hearing or hearing related to deaf relating to the hearing world. You get a good grasp of what it's like in the deaf culture, while you go through murders, break-ins and kidnappings. I got a better idea of the deaf culture, yet was caught up in the mystery. I really enjoyed the book, and hearing, or not, I think you will, too, if you like mysteries.
