If someone wants to read the book i recommend they read this edition cause it's really the supplementary readings that get the high rating.
“Story of my Life” in itself gets 3/5, i think Keller of everything she could be writing about finds writing about her own life the least interesting way to use her talents.
The letters are a bit more interesting but not by much. But as supplementary reading we we have Anne Sullivan's letters following Helen Keller's education and progress, we have some of Keller's essays from college and then the appendix which really shows the literary talent Helen Keller has, a woman reduced to her disabilities and later to a punchline apparently.
After the public followed Helen Keller's education, her unparalleled thirst for knowledge and language, they seem to have disliked her beliefs once she was able to express them clearly (and beautifully- her style is truly remarkable) she was silenced again. When you admit to being a socialist in America, they will try their best to bury you, with her all they left was the story of a little girl discovering water's name.
