What The Reviewers Say

Laurie Hertzel,
The Los Angeles Times
The first half of the book is less vivid than the second. We meet some of the players, but only in a cursory way.
Laine Higgins,
The Wall Street Journal
Through the journeys of the deaf players, their coaches and their families, Mr. Fuller expands our idea of what it means to communicate..
Sridhar Pappu,
Air Mail
Few gems.
Karen Springen,
Booklist
Thoroughly reported.
