The Sound of Munich by Suzanne Nelson is chick lit at its best. It’s part of the S.A.S.S. (Students Across the Seven Seas) series which is all about a female teenage protagonist studying abroad in a foreign country and the trials, challenges and romance that goes with it. I have read a few of the books from this series in the past and this one was right in line – it definitely did not disappoint. The Sound of Munich follows seventeen-year-old Siena, a bohemian Cali girl who’s heading to Germany

One of the S.A.S.S. series, (students studying abroad) that takes place in a city I know well. It was accurate in places and customs it described but it was alittle too romancy for me. But teenage girls might like..

It was okay are the best words I have to describe this book. Nothing stuck out, nothing caught my eye, it was just a normal book.I needs a little spice and suspence in it to make it a better book

This was a cute book. Predictable, but cute. It was almost more fun to read because I knew a lot of the places described (Marienplatz, Romantischerstrasse, Neuschwanstein, for example) than for the actual plot. It would be good for people interested in other countries and or people looking for a quick read that isn't the standard teenage romance fare.
3/5 on here, 7/10 for myself

I first chose this book because the protagonist has the same name as me. (Very rare.) I loved the whole story of falling in love with a culture. Siena starts out a total foreigner, and she leaves a true German. This book really captures the essence of the people. I liked the who theme of exploring your heritage thing too. The whole meeting with Peter was heartwarming. All in all, it was a fabulous book that made me want to travel more!

Siena is on her way to Germany from California to study for 3 months. She is hoping to learn more about her father's family, and to finish his Carpe Diem list. Her father died in a car accident before he could locate Peter, the man who smuggled him and his parents out of East Berlin. Siena makes some new friends who help her make the stars align so she can complete her dream and maybe find love on the way . . .

Cute book. I will be comfortable recommending this to the hard to match readers - 4-6th graders reading at the 7-8th grade level.

I thought it was cool that you herd about her school life and her family life. It was a great book overall.
