Oprah has a way of picking books for her book club that make you want to throw yourself in front of traffic for having read them. I loved that the author actually did some research on Sign Language. This book is a roller coaster ride and I still can't decide if I loved it or hated it. Maybe that's why it is so good- it certainly is not a cute book about a boy and his dog with a predictable ending. I see the Shakespeare parallel, but I can't help but wonder, what was the point of this book?
