An enjoyable entry into the cozy mystery genre, by an author to watch. Bork writes well, and captures the cadence of life in the Finger Lakes Region of New York State.

A well written, interesting book. The author offers a clear explanation of hearing loss in children, including testing, diagnosis, causes, and treatments. I appreciated the way personal anecdotes were interspersed with medical and technical information. Highly recommended not only for parents of hearing-impaired children, but for anyone who interacts with kids on a daily basis - teachers, day-care providers, speech pathologists, pediatricians, etc.

A totally delightful story of three very different men, linked by a shared obsession - to see the most different bird species in a year. Even if you're not similarly obsessed, the author's writing style and humor will catch you up and carry you along for the ride. It was such a fun read that it made me consider, if only momentarily, doing something similar. For avid birders, armchair travelers, and students of human nature - enjoy!
