Where does The Story of My Life rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

There is little question that anyone who believes in the "five senses" and the certitude of such, needs to listen to this to be jolted to a higher truth. How is it that after proper treatment for having lost her sight and hearing at age 2, Helen Keller was "taught" to use her sense of smell to know the beauty and colors of classical music? Or, to write great poetry-much commorating the best ideas of America? How did she master several languages? In brief she was not only better "educated;" and,most assuredly more truly American than most Congressmen today--as well as recent Presidents. Her life, spanning 1880-1969 spanned times of great diffuculty, as well as the gifts of the Presidencies of President FDR and JFK. While I do not know if she met them, many great people came to meet her,as the tenor Enrico Caruso. And, many lesser men sought to tear her accomplishments--perhaps especially her poetry I believe down. Her poetic genius as an American poet was described by some as 'too colorful. The truth more likely was that it gave fear to those who would destroy the best ideas of America. Braille destroys this extra-sensibility of mind from being developed. We need many teachers of the blind as Helen Kellers' "Annie." A few have employed her method, that I am aware of in one case; but, a 'Gideons Army' of such must be taught. I believe this ought to be part of regular school curriculum: either as read or conveyed verbally verbally and unabridged as in this edition. And I mean general curriculum for all--not just such specialists as neuroscience, doctors, nurses, etc.

What did you like best about this story?

I had already heard many of the more delightful ideas of her autobiography; and, the efforts of the best in neuroscience to "statistically explain this phenomenon," which they failed to do within the realm of their method. (See above for other highlights). But, although your Amazon means to listen to this this book promised it might be heard from your computer--it would possibly take a hired expert or home computer "Geek" to know how to enable this, Your choices for listening to this might take an Edward Snowden "technician" to fascilitate this.
