If I had read Helen Keller's The Story of My Life without this version's supplementary accounts by her teacher Anne Sullivan, her editor John Macy, and the introduction and afterward by Roger Shattuck, I'd have been very skeptical of it because the eloquence of the writing. How could she have had such a strong connection to the world of language, as isolated as (I thought) she was? The additional material about her life experiences, her education, the unique methods used by her teachers, and her own lifelong devotion to reading and letter writing erased any trace of skepticism I had. One of the most beautiful books I have ever read.It is so wonderful..thanks to school..we got the unabridged version for reading this year. Helen Keller is one of the most awesome people ever..She is determined,intelligent and funny.I got even more fond after I realized that we have a common love for books and that we both dislike examinations and textbooks with passion.She is not afraid to say what's in her heart.She has written about both her good and bad times.Again,I was able to understand her more after she told about her inability in solving math problems.She is a nature loving outdoorsy person that we love and is very extrovert.She is nice to everyone she meets which makes us love her even more.What makes her so amazing is that she is ever ready to acknowledge the people who have helped her and is grateful and down to earth.Love you,Helen Keller..you just went into my list of role-models!

I listened to the audio, and it was ok, but I did lose focus more than I would have liked. It turns out Helen loved books and reading, which was interesting. It was kind of repetitive between the biography portion, then much of what was in the letters had already also been mentioned in the autobiography. Helen Keller was a pretty impressive woman. ( )
