Boy, had I high expectations for Virtuosity. But while reading it the story felt kind of over-used and familiar, although handing out a list with similar plots or character constellations would be diffiucult: An oppressive, pushy mom, who uses her teenaged daughter to fulfill her own dream, a gifted...
I confess that I am one of those people that say: “I love music.” Probably a lot. And I do, in a certain sense of the word. I love music in that I find emotional connection and release in it. I love music in that I come home from work some days, pour myself a glass of wine, put on the Cure and dance...
I picked up Virtuosity at the Simon and Schuster blogger event at BEA and it was one of the books I was most excited about reading. The cover threw me off a bit once I got into it because it really doesn't match the mood or main character of the story. Carmen Bianchi is a 17 year old child prodigy w...
Quando ho inserito il rating su Goodreads ieri ho messo tre stelline, in realtà ripensando al libro oggi mentre scrivevo questa recensione, ho capito che non avevo un vero motivo per non dargli un voto più alto.

As a musician, I loved this book. As a music lover, I loved this book. Best change of pace that I've read in awhile.More to come next week. Review then.-Carmen Bianchi and her violin are inseparable. For as long as she can remember she's always known that her path in life goes like this: practice pr...
This is one of the best books, I've read recently, about figuring out who you want to be and standing up for it. When we first meet Carmen she is, first and foremost, a musician and a really amazing one. Her whole life has been about the violin and it's all lead up to the Guarneri competition, a ver...
