An Engaging and Excellent Book

>> Last weekend, at a time when I was very distracted and unable to focus, I<br>>> picked up "Songs of the Blind Snowbird" and I was captured. It was totally absorbing and presented me with an interesting combination of mental and emotional qualities: lots of new and thought provoking information about what it is like to live life as a blind person, and lots of laughs as well! Last but not least, it tells a story of the strong bond between a loving and sensitive person and his dog, who is there as a stabilizing and well attuned presence through all kinds of difficulties.<br> This is a beautiful book, both funny and sad, about one man's life. By the end, the reader has gotten to know a special man and two special dogs. <p>>>

From one snowbird to another

I've never read such a fascinating book. It was humorous, sad, enlightening, heartwarming and written in such a manner that you could picture the author as a bright, kind, strong individual. It's so obvious that this individual is a very talented writer, who is on his way towards a brilliant career! He's truly been through severe heartships.I couldn't put this book down. I wish Robert Michael Jacobs only the very best on his first book and hope to review in the not to distant future his next book. He deserves much notoriety!

Songs of the Blind Snowbird

This is a wonderfully warm and funny book about the relationship of a man and this sometimes frustating and sometimes amusing world that we all inhabit. And it is especially so for the author, who is blind. Those sections about being blind in a sighted society are witty and enlightening. Some of the most hilarious chapters are the "Dear KC" columns where the author's ten pound dog answers questions from pets on the incomprehensible behaviors of humans. There are sad stories too, but, overall, the book is fun and clever.
