A fast-paced, plot-driven suspense novel with a potent <\/p>\n<p>message, it is an excellent book for university students studying<br \/>\nASL. <\/p>\n<p>Comments include: <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;MindField has absolutely helped me to better understand the deaf <\/p>\n<p>culture and really made me happy that I chose to take an ASL course.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This book was written in a style that made it easy and enjoyable to <\/p>\n<p>read, I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more<br \/>\nabout <\/p>\n<p>deaf culture or get an idea of what it would be like to become deaf.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What impressed me most about the book is that not only was it a <\/p>\n<p>captivating read with a great plot and believable characters, behind<br \/>\nit <\/p>\n<p>were stories and experiences of what people face every day of their <\/p>\n<p>lives. Making this realization gave the book much more depth and <\/p>\n<p>substance.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe that this book has helped me to better understand the deaf<\/p>\n<p>culture as well as ASL. I had never really learned about either<br \/>\nbefore <\/p>\n<p>taking this class and I think this book was perfect supplemental <\/p>\n<p>reading.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>For a limited time, buy this book for the special price of $16.95 <\/p>\n<p>(Regularly $18.95).
