What do readers think of Blind Man's Bluff by James Tate Hill? Write your own review.

Adjusting to losing your eyesight would be difficult if you had been sighted into your teens! One would empathize with James Hill at his attempt to "bluff" his way but after a while his situation became repetitious and tiring. It had been hoped that he would develop confidence to admit he needed help but he continued to go to great lengths to hide it. It wasn't until the last few pages he appeared to finally enjoy and accept his disability! There is a childhood game child called "Blind Man's Bluff" where you had to use your senses while blindfolded. Perhaps this is what he was trying to do - use his senses to find his way in the world!

To me, a disappointment. The inside flap describes it as "candid yet humorous." Candid it is. Humorous, not so much.
I picked this book to review since I have vision "issues" and thought I'd see some parallels.
Hill becomes legally blind at 16, but doesn't want anyone to know. His explanation for much of his life is "vision issues" which doesn't begin to cover his issues. Most of those issues have to do with his inability to develop meaningful relationships, especially with the opposite sex. He explains this as "not being able to see the physical cues" others would be displaying.
The man managed to earn 3 Master's degrees, yet seems to zone in what he can't do because he won't share that he can't see.
