The only reason I'd say it was worth reading is its unique perspective as a memoir written by a man who was born legally blind and whose vision gets progressively worse. I don't find his style interesting--his writing is too dry and humorless, he's not very likeable, and I don't understand all the rave reviews on Amazon. (I mean, they're calling this guy "an American treasure." ahem.) That said, i like to read just to learn about something new sometimes.
