Seeing Voices is a manifesto, characteristically humane and impassioned; once more, Sacks proves he is the doyen of science with a human face. * Sunday Times *
Empathetic, intelligent and compassionate. * Guardian *
A passionate meditation on the richness of sign language. * Independent *
Scholarly and carefully documented, Seeing Voices makes the gigantic leap so essential to understanding total deafness. * Sunday Telegraph *
