The story of my life

The story of my life/Helen Keller 441 pg.

I listened to this in audio and at first thought, "What a remarkable story" but really, Helen came across as a little naive. Then I finished the book and realized she wrote it when she was 21 so that is to be expected. The last portion of the book is letters written by Helen that start when she was just learning to communicate. She masters it so well that by age 12 or so, she is clearly more well read than I and her writing is better too. Aside from her studies, she led an physical life regularly, riding horses, bicycling, rowing, and hiking. She is the first deaf & blind person to graduate from college and really her story is very amazing. - Christa
