Reviews for Helen Keller

[Dean Rowe · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The storyteller appears professional, and the writer understands a ton about the subject. I believe this audiobook has the right to a compliment from me, a loyal listener. The ideas from the writer made a lot of sense to me. I agreed with everything, and that's another reason why I am so fired up about this book. The writer didn't arbitrarily select little bits and pieces of wrong advice, but rather, sorted out the claims enough.
