I love the concept. A word that has lost its way in the world. I hidden world behind human language where every word is personified and lives a life. I love the idea of what happens to them as a human speaks. I cant wait to read more. I love the mystery surrounding what The Words word actually is. Even when it has its memory we don't know its name. The character of Deaf is very creative and deals with identity in a book that you would never though did. I love the vivid imagery. You can imagine The Word through every step of being spoken.
