Hi Sarah,

I’m glad you liked it, keep your eyes peeled for the movie, which is being directed by former Twilight dircetor Catherine Hardwicke.

I work in a library and I picked this up simply because it was new and had an interesting cover. It was SO good. I ended up finishing it in less than two days. Some of it was a little “random” and the end was a little too predictable, but I still LOVED it.

I picked up this book because it’s so close to my life,as I am a teen cellist living in Oregon. However, I agree with Kim, I was disappointed that some of the classical music stuff was off. Also, it was really predictable. I would to have loved to be surprised at the end. This book wasn’t all I expected it to be, but there were some very good parts, and I think I enjoyed it overall.

I liked the idea of the book and that, along with its many recommendations, led me to read it. But it was sort of disappointing. First, my big pet peeve is that I think she got some of the classical music stuff a little wrong (this only bothers me because I’m a classical musician and am obsessed with everything about it). It seemed like she did research but she didn’t really get what she was writing. Plus, I think it could have been written to be a tad more original…and the ending was predictable. It did have its moments though!

I’m just throwing this out there…don’t be mad if you disagree.

I did like the book–it was kind of that dramatic, mushy genre that isn’t really supposed to make you laugh, but those are good every once in a while. I’m a cellist also & Mia’s life was defined by her music, which was really cool to read (I’m always looking for books about music & instruments). Definitely would read this again.
I’m worried about the movie, though. I guess it could be well done since they could actually put audio into it, but you know how movies are…I might not see it.

I really liked this book. It really makes you understand how fragile life is… When i finished reading it i called my friend in Canada (i live in Australia) because tomorrow she might be dead and i would never have the chance to say goodbye…
