About this audiobook
Paul Griffin
People have always told me I should be a Comic Writer. So I thought I would give it a go. It's all very easy to make the suggestion, but a different thing actually doing it. You need something to be funny about. Fortunately being of a certain age I have a lot of experiences and people I have known to draw on for material. Some of it is hilarious, and some of it interesting and some just baffling. My normal work involves music production/composition and more lately making music videos, so writing is something of a new venture for me. Hopefully successful but certainly a lot of fun.....................

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is an incredible story about a hearing impares girl, her friends, an immigrant, and a young war veteran. Mika is just making it through life with clunky awful hearing aids that are all the government will buy for her. Turning them on allows her to her sound, but the static isn't really worth it. It is her relationship with her friends that make this story such a charmer. It is amazing.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Kearsten says: This is a pretty rough story, revolving around three lost teens: Mika, a 15-year-old hearing-impaired girl, 18-yr-old Jimmi, a mentally disabled veteran, and Fatima, a 16-yr-old African illegal. Their paths cross and recross in Bronx, and they each struggle with what it means for him/her to be free.These teens are all living rough, fighting bullies, fear and mental illness, but are brought together in the way that each longs for something better, through art, freedom, kindness.The chapters alternate between the three teens' points of view, and tension mounts as each chapter counts down to a violence predicted at the beginning of the book AND as the reader becomes more and more invested in the characters - why will someone be hanged? Will Mika stop stutting the world out by turning off her hearing aids when life becomes overwhelming? Will Fatima survive?Haunting and disturbing yet still hopeful, this would make an excellent book discussion choice. Recommended.
