Review: so i couldn't have loved it more - This book may not be for everyone, as it gets quite technical on language and digs deep into the history of feral children. I happen to be interested in both, as well as in Genie's own story, so i couldn't have loved it more. The writing is beautiful and the author manages to engage wth the subject without taking any sides. A fantastic read.
Review: A must read for anyone interested in linguistics - Unlike some very dry texts on linguistics using technical language that is hard to read, this was a very insightful book told almost in story fashion about a little girl found not in the woods or the jungle but inner city California Factual and highly engaging from the POV of psychology as well as linguistics, and an indictment of how science failed these subjects and history is destined to repeat itself

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ so i couldn't have loved it more
*by A***R on 10 January 2017*

This book may not be for everyone, as it gets quite technical on language and digs deep into the history of feral children. I happen to be interested in both, as well as in Genie's own story, so i couldn't have loved it more. The writing is beautiful and the author manages to engage wth the subject without taking any sides. A fantastic read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must read for anyone interested in linguistics
*by H***I on 26 July 2013*

Unlike some very dry texts on linguistics using technical language that is hard to read, this was a very insightful book told almost in story fashion about a little girl found not in the woods or the jungle but inner city California Factual and highly engaging from the POV of psychology as well as linguistics, and an indictment of how science failed these subjects and history is destined to repeat itself

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ brilliant read for psychology students
*by T***E on 14 December 2011*

I first heard about Genie in one of my psychology text books, and wanted to find out more. Brilliant book, but i wouldnt recomend it for people who have no understanding of psychology, as it can be a bit heavy going at times, and also deals a lot with linguistics, which can be a bit tricky to understand. Overall i found this a great read, and recomend for anyone wishing to find out more about Genie
