True Biz: Reese's Book Club

Ending felt rushed with lots of unresolved questions. The author also unnecessarily shoved in what were obviously her personal views on political and social topics, which ruined parts of the book for me. I loved learning about deaf culture and history. Mini lessons between chapters were great!

I really enjoyed this book. It was easy to read and had interesting characters and a unique plot line. My favorite part about the book was the glimpse into deaf culture and community and each of the characters unique perspectives and experiences. Exposure to different communities, ways of life, and perspectives is one of my favorite things about reading so I enjoyed it.

This book is a really good read by itself but if you want to know about Deaf culture and history and a real look at what it's like being Deaf, this is the one to read. I'm enjoying it so much and will be using much of the extra "teaching" parts in the ASL classes I teach. Not sure why I didn't come across this book a long time ago! It's gold!

Novic's characters have opened to me the world of Deaf Culture with its controversies, undercurrents, and moments of pride. I can't say I liked this book, but I learned from it.

An engaging and informative novel about the deaf community. There is much to be learned that the majority of us do not know! There are a number pages that crop up devoted to illustrating signing if you are interested. I found it slow for me to become involved, but once I was hooked, I really enjoyed it and came away wiser!
