Every Note Played by Lisa Genova

3.0

I actually didn't finish this-- not because I wasn't enjoying it, but because I was reading the audiobook, and when I was one disc away from the end I could pretty much tell what was going to happen and I didn't want to go on that emotional roller-coaster ride! I like Lis Genova's books, but there's always a thread of sadness and regret throughout. I very well may be missing the redeeming hope that might come in the final chapters, and if so, I guess that's my loss.

I did enjoy the prose about the music performances, and would have loved to read more of that. Music can be such a vehicle of transcendence, and I wanted Richard to get to ride that wave more. The acting was beautiful in the audio version as well.
