COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Stunning, moving submitted by MikeS on March 27, 2007, 10:38am This was a book I avoided because I thought it would be too disturbing. (I won't say much about that here.) The story is gripping. And, yes, it is made more poignant and moving to know that the author dictated it--with his eyelid--one letter at a time.
