*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2014*

Not sure if I'm being asked to review the book, or review the product.  As a book, it's a riveting read from a brilliant memoirist detailing the experience of living in silence.  Being someone who is lately seeking my own refuge from the constant hum of white noise in a major city, I was drawn to this book, and am being transformed by it.  I haven't finished it yet, so a final analysis cannot be made, but I am finding this to be a quite Zen experience.As a product, the hardback book was in good condition, but I was a little disappointed that it didn't come with its cover.  As a graphic designer, I'm interested in book covers, and I don't believe the missing cover was mentioned in the product description.  But that's a nitpick.  I am very much enjoying my purchase.

    Toooo many words
  

*by W***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2014*

I could not get into this book. Perhaps people who like the other works by this author rated it highly because they like her writing style and would enjoy everything she writes. Fair enough. But, for me, I was interested in the topic: silence.  It seemed there were very, very many words that had nothing to do with silence or lessons learned in silence.  It seemed a noisy book. I recommend the book by Anne d. Claire, "Listening. Below the noise." It is brilliant and not religious, though appealing to everyone, religious or not, who longs to embrace silence. For a Christian view I recommend also Ruth H. Barton, "invitation to solitude and silence." It is a great book.

    An Interesting Read
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2014*

It was thought provoking to me -- I enjoy silence and appreciated reading Ms. Maitland's very thorough investigations of different types of silences and how people throughout the millennia have used them; to what purposes. Sometimes it's a bit thick and I'd find myself having to re-read; it's definitely a combination of first person accounts and scholarly research.
