This book was lovely. The musical descriptions mixed with the seriousness of the trial was beautifully written.

I'm really looking forward to reading this one. It isn't one that I would typically pick up. I enjoyed the movie but I just assumed that this would be a really dry read. I'm only a few chapters in, however and I am really enjoying it. I'm also reading The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas for class so it's been slow going but, I'm looking forward to being able to dedicate more time to this one.

No football or commercials for me! I will be happily reading with a cat on my lap!

This book wasn‘t bad, it just wasn‘t that good either. It just seemed to me rather disjointed, and I did not care for the main character. Overall, I was bored.

In 1994 I made $15,000. After paying rent - I didn't have much money left over. I subsisted on the food that was left over from work meetings and bought very few books. The Soloist made the cut and I loved it. Those lean years taught me that I could adapt to whatever life threw at me - and that I'll choose books over food because that's what fuels me. I also learned to never let money rule my life. #lyricalapril #bittersweetsymphony

"As a rule, I try to avoid talking with anyone about the collapse of society. My own view is that apathy is an acceptable, if not admirable, stance because it actively reduces frustration and despair and to that extent makes the world a better place."

I highly suggest this book to any musicians and music teachers out there. A great journey of self-discovery and the power of music.
