Representaion During Books Blind

When Emma Sasha Silver loses her eyesight in a nightmare accident, she must relearn everything from walking across the street to recognizing her own sisters to imagining colors. One of seven children, Emma used to be the invisible kid, but now it seems everyone is watching her. And just as she's about to start high school and try to recover her friendships and former life, one of her classmates is found dead in an apparent suicide. Fifteen and blind, Emma has to untangle what happened and why - in order to see for herself what makes life worth living.

Unflinching in its portrayal of Emma's darkest days, yet full of hope and humor, Rachel DeWoskin's brilliant Blind is one of those rare books that utterly absorbs the listener into the life and experience of another.

Notice Out Of Books Blind

3.5 really. It was an okay read. I didn't hate it. I just thought it needed more. It was a good idea but the story line was lacking. Will write a full review soon.

"Rachel DeWoskin's brilliant Blind is one of those rare books that utterly absorbs the listener into the life and experience of another."In this powerful book, a teen girl has lost her sight after a tragic 4th of July accident. We experience her journey of relearning her world as a blind girl. This book moved me on a personal level, my brother at the age of 40 lost 99% of his vision due to a genetic disease. I've never really stopped to think how frightening it was for him, to live in darkness

I received this book from the First Reads program. Thank you Penguin Canada. The novel takes place a year after Emma lost her sight, just as she's starting grade 10 in her old high school. It chronicles Emma's journey as she deals with the obstacles coming her way. The major problem is that there are too many things happening at once, too many events the book introduces that don't get resolved properly. For instance, Claire's suicide, Logan's crush on Zach, Emma's crush on Seb (All her crushes

Oh my, I really tried to read this book without skimming over pages, but it was so tediously boring. There was really not much going on worth writing about, but the author did write, and write, and it was really not worth my time. Why she centered the story around reasons for the death of one of the high school students remains a mystery to me - it had nothing to do with anything. Ugh! An utter waste of time. I received this book from Goodreads First Reads, which I do appreciate, but this book

The author does a good job of conveying the challenges, but also the successes, of living with a life altering change such as being blinded by an accident. Emma Silver loses her eyesight, but comes to realize that she can see some things more clearly now than she could before. With the help of her family and friends, Emma gains the support she needs to find her way in her changed world.

So I have this as an e-book but I decided to listen to it on loan to the library, and I sat and listened to it all day! There were moments of this book being really beautifully written.

100 pages before I quit. It was so, so boring. I get why she has to describe things as she does in the details she does since that's how she takes in her world -- that worked for me quite well -- but the info dumping. That it was 100 pages of flat explanation of living in a big family, of entering a new school, of what life used to be like. There wasn't a compelling story, no forward drive in the narrative. And it's over 400 pages, so after 100 and not feeling the slightest investment, I don't
