Megan ，

I thought this was a fascinating read！ My only gripe is that I wish it was longer and more detailed about his life after Columbia， instead of the short synopsis at the very end。 Overall， a very interesting read。 Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC。

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review。I really wanted to read this book because I am also legally blind although I didn't lose my vision suddenly like the author did。 That must e been so terrifying to lose vision then get it back for a bit only to lose it again。 This book was a young readers edition so it was fairly short。 The writing wasn't as good as I'd expected but it was a pretty good book。 Some parts were more like lists of his ac Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review。I really wanted to read this book because I am also legally blind although I didn't lose my vision suddenly like the author did。 That must e been so terrifying to lose vision then get it back for a bit only to lose it again。 This book was a young readers edition so it was fairly short。 The writing wasn't as good as I'd expected but it was a pretty good book。 Some parts were more like lists of his accomplishments， which seemed to not fit into the flow of the story。 He is an inspiring man and I like that he wants to end blindness by supporting researchers and organizations who deal with eye issues。 。。。more

I first heard about Sanford Greenberg’s story a week before I started reading Hello Darkness。 Unbeknownst to me， this was a young readers version of the book Greenberg published a couple of years ago。 But that didn’t matter。 The story of how he dealt with the onset of blindness at age 19， while a student at Columbia， and how he decided to work on overcoming obstacles， was inspiring。 His friendship with Art Garfunkel is a beautiful story。 Garfunkel， who was his roommate， helped get him through co I first heard about Sanford Greenberg’s story a week before I started reading Hello Darkness。 Unbeknownst to me， this was a young readers version of the book Greenberg published a couple of years ago。 But that didn’t matter。 The story of how he dealt with the onset of blindness at age 19， while a student at Columbia， and how he decided to work on overcoming obstacles， was inspiring。 His friendship with Art Garfunkel is a beautiful story。 Garfunkel， who was his roommate， helped get him through college and life。 In return， when Garfunkel needed money in the early days of Simon and Garfunkel， Greenberg and his wife didn’t hesitate to nearly deplete their savings to help his dearest friend。 A wonderful and inspiring story， no matter the age of the reader。My thanks to Post Hill Press and to Netgalley for an ARC of the book。 。。。more
