Title: Unrealistic Portrayal
Review: What ruined this book for me was the way Dovey's brother, Amos, was portrayed. It is not likely that a child who is deaf and has never had any formal schooling would be able to lip read as well as he does, let alone be able to read Mark Twain. Many children who are deaf and have gone to school all their lives wouldn't be able to read at that level. I had trouble believing in the plot knowing this.
Is the review positive or negative?
