Vision with out sight is about the how blind people can achieve there goals in life. This book is very informational and has separate sections for each topic. For example: the how we see section is about what goes on inside our eyes and how blind people see or don't see. The book taught us many things such as vision for the future and blindness in the past.

I thought this book had very good facts such as, the first blind school in paris in 1784. I think personally that the book was a little on the boring side. Then I again, I realized I learned more when I write the facts down, then remembering. If you like Non-fiction books then this is a great book for you
