Unique approach. Very interesting story line.

Loved it. Narrator was very talented. We enjoyed listening to it as we walked each day.

strongly suggest you read

this is a book you can barely put down. excellent book. I read it years ago and just reread which I don't often do.

Good but found the ending lacking

I liked the story because it was an interesting and unusual subject. Something out of the norm. Ending could have been better.

EXCELLENT story AND performance!

I don’t know where to start! The narrator did a superior job voicing the protagonist’s voice who was born deaf and has a cochlear implant. The narrator actually sounds like a person who was hearing impaired!
Then there’s the story… Oh my goodness! Talk about sacrificial love and family ties— this will be marked as a favorite, and I will definitely listen to it again which I don’t do very often.

A moving,engaging and well- told story

Would you consider the audio edition of The Face to be better than the print version?

I liked the character of Sarah and the way she helped me think about what life is like for people with serious disabilities.

What did you like best about this story?

Yes.

What does Holly Adams bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The character of Sarah and her relationship with her aunt provide the author with a vehicle for addressing some interesting issues "faced" by many people in our world today. Sarah is easy to relate to, so the issues do not come out in a heavy handed way.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I find this question hard to answer because I truly admire Holly Adams' work. I find her interesting to listen to and particularly enjoy the way she creates diverse characters through the way she uses her voice. I do not think I would have enjoyed this story so much if she had not been reading it.

Any additional comments?

This is worth listening to. The quality of the performance and the nature of the subject matter make it well worth your time.
