‘A Blind Man's Game’ tells the life story of Paul Boskind, a successful entrepreneur, activist, and political campaigner. The book jumps around in time, showing how Paul achieved so much, from being an award-winning newspaper boy to producing Tony award-winning shows and working as a psychologist. While the casual writing style and lots of exclamation marks might not be for everyone, the book is still an inspiring read.
I really enjoyed this book about the life of Paul Boskind
This kind of book is not really my type of book but i did enjoyed it all the memorys and also the disease tha took is vision away
As a person that work in the area i really thought that all part of the disease were really well described
And i do really like that Paul makes us understand that blindness is not just seeing black but its a use range of imparing in our daily life when our vision is reduced
Thank you to #netgalley for this ARC of #blindmangame
This book was fascinating. Part of me wishes that more of the memoir was adapting to his loss of vision but I think that’s the point of the book. Well written.
‘A Blind Mans Game’ follows the extraordinary life of Paul Boskind an extraordinary entrepreneur, activist and political campaigner. The non-linear storytelling of this memoir depicts how Paul became fascinated and achieved many great things throughout his life. From being an award-winning newspaper boy to a producer on Tony award winning shows to a psychologist, Paul is clearly a man who has lived a fascinating and accomplished life. His story is one truly worth reading.
However, the writing at times is very weak, the conversational tone can make or break it for a reader. Personally, I like memoirs to be slightly more formal, the overwhelming use of exclamation marks were at times frustrating. But this is all personal taste.
I would recommend this book to someone who enjoys autobiographical non-fiction or adventure fiction as his life contained a lot of adventure.
