You Don’t Look Like Anyone I Know: A True Story of Family, Face Blindness, and Forgiveness Audiobook

" Great memoir--dysfunctional family plus neurological disorder. I couldn't put it down. "

" Amazingly talented author and English professor in Michigan tells her own story of surviving face blindness and a dysfunctional upbringing. "

" Another memoir about someone with a crazy family. But the really fascinating thing is that this woman has face-blindness, which I've heard and read about (Oliver Sacks has it), but she did not know that she had it, didn't even know there was such a thing, until she was in her 40's. "

" Well-written book. Sad and funny, as well as fascinating. Makes you want to know more about Ms. Sellers and her life with this condition. "

" I expected this book to be better than it was. It was an interesting story line (someone that goes through life with face blindness). It was just ok. "

" Great for face blindness research! The writing is good, too. What a tough childhood, not to mention finally figuring out that she is face blind (well into her 30s.) I would love to know if there are any dogs or other pets in her life. Does she have trouble seeing their faces? It wouldn't be as difficult for her as it is with humans because most animals will greet you as a friend/owner. But what if she had two of the same breed? Could she tell them apart? "

" I had thought the book would focus more on face blindness, but it did not. I did like the writing style or the narrator. "

" Very readable and, of course, wild in parts. Reminded me a bit of "The Three of Us". "

" Fascinating, heart-breaking and ultimately inspiring memoir by a woman who suffers from prosopagnosia (the inability to recognize faces). "

" Fascinating description of experiening with face-blindness, but overwhelming, oppressive family crazy (real family, really crazy) made it too sad to read without skipping chunks. "

" I learned a lot about face blindness after listening to this book. I heard the author talk about this book on NPR and wanted to learn more about it. She's from West Michigan. "

" Well written but I wasn't expecting the first half to be primarily about her childhood and growing up with her parents - though i suppose it was necessary to get to the part about face blindness. "

" The idea of the book was interesting enough...sadly I just didn't care about anybody in the story. "

" A beautifully-written memoir from a Hope College professor. Funny and smart, and makes me want to pick up her other books. "

" Have more to say about this book, but I can tell you know that I loved it, and read it in one sitting. "

" Interesting story, but the book was a dull read. "

" Excellent capturing of emotional states. Some repetitive phrasing. "

" I learned about this disorder on the Stuff You Should Know podcast, so I thought a memoir about someone with it would be super interesting. It was, but the author is a bit odd. I think the cool thing is to try and determine where the tone of the book originates. "

" I tried to read this twice with no success. I felt sorry for Heather, but not really interested in her story. "

" ENjoyed the writing style and specificity of the subject. It was a perfectly simple and raw memoir. She covered a transformative time in her life with flashbacks to the relative memories of her past. Insightful in a lot of ways about how we perceive and don't perceive the world we are changing in. "

" A powerful way to learn about an interesting and very difficult condition. "

" Never knew about Face Blindness until I read this amazing story. If you liked The GLASS CASTLE,you will like this book. Totally dysfunctional family. How do these people make it? "

" I was amazed how compelling this memoir was. I read it because I wanted to know what life would be like for someone with face blindness--I'm glad I did. But I also learned from Sellers' unique, often difficult upbringing with her parents. I like how she came to terms with everything in the end. "

" Fascinating - but frustrating too. "

" I really liked this book. The author writes with a sence of humor so it didn't read like a memior. It jumps back and forth from present to past which took some getting used to. The subject facinates me and it was an enjoyable read. "

" Another memoir about someone with a crazy family. But the really fascinating thing is that this woman has face-blindness, which I've heard and read about (Oliver Sacks has it), but she did not know that she had it, didn't even know there was such a thing, until she was in her 40's. "

" What a touching and interesting story! The author did a fantastic job of taking the reader deep into the confusion and uncertainty that shaped her life for such a long time. And her descriptions of the ubiquitous Dutch of West Michigan made me a little homesick for Grand Rapids. "

" Neat. 2nd autobiographical book ive read with author having lived in holland, Michigan. Couldn't put it down - couldn't believe it, but couldn't doubt it. Read it in 2 days. "

" Very interesting book about a condition I've never heard of. Quick read - reads like a novel. "
