Thanks first reads for me winning this book. A man and his wife through the years the ups and downs of life they thought they would have and notes along the way. Loved this book! Keven Milne wrote such a good story and this one is right up there with the last book I read by him, and loved that one too.

This book was a new one for me and the author was someone I had never heard of. I did go to his website and I found that he is the author of several other books. Needless to say, after reading this one, I put them on my wish list:)
I was put through every type of emotion while I was reading this book. Kevin is an excellent writer!! My favorite character was probably Annaliese. She seemed so bent on helping Ethan and getting through life, even with all it's twists and turns. I loved how More...

What a wonderful, wonderful book. It is filled with life's lessons, advice, and love. The title seems to have dual meanings....music and love. The book begins and end with both music and love and is sprinkled throughout with “love letters” from Anna and Ethan’s music.
Ethan and Anna met by chance in Vienna while she was on vacation and he was finishing his masters in music. It was a whirlwind romance, and when they returned to the states, they couldn't wait to get married. Their More...

I loved this book! It was full of truisms and had a story that was realistic enough to break my heart. Bottom line - two good, young people fall in love in Austria. They play a little game where they meet up a couple times, Anna falls in love with Ethan, the musician, dreamer and idealist. Ethan falls in love with Anna, the artist, idealist, dreamer. They return to the states and he finds her in Moscow. That's Idaho. They hang out together with her dad, deeper lover develops and they marry.

The Final Note by Kevin A. Milne is a wonderful, inspiring novel of love, forgiveness and loss. This is one of my most favorite books of 2011. The Prelude and Postlude are the most beautifully written ones I have ever read in any book. You will cry or rejoice with the characters in this charming book.
The Final Note is divided into 5 different parts. First verse, second verse, etc… Which I thought was really neat.
Ethan is a music major and Anna is an art major. Ethan wanted to write More...

Today’s lesson in life - never read emotionally draining books over your lunch hour. You come back to work puffy-eyed, splotchy faced, and you have a headache for the rest of the afternoon. I should have known better.
In fact I did know better. The reader knows from the get go you are investing in a roller coaster of emotion (even if you do predicted pretty far out how it was going end.) If you are a sap for Hallmark/Lifetime movies, then this is the book for you.

I probably would have given this book four stars if it wasn't so sad. And it wasn't the whole 'the wife might die' part that made me sad. It was the Grandpa part towards the end of the book, where he is telling the story of how he got Karl the guitar, which he gives to Ethan to play, so music plays a big part in this novel.
It was a good book. Like I sad, a little to sad for my taste, but the writing was great, flowed well and could easily be read in a day. Ethan meets Anna while on a trip More...

I thought this book was going to be like lots of others I have read with the husband getting busy at work and then neglecting his family and then figuring things out, but it had some added dimensions that made it a very good story. Music was a good part of the story and I believe that music can change how I feel about work or people or spirituality or love...anything really. It has great power. And I love the play on words in the title.

This book was amazing and inspiring. I love how the stories were told and how the book seemed to be a story of an older man reflecting on his life. And in part, it told the stories of others around him. I feel like I stepped into Ethan's life and shared some of his life lessons with him. It was simply amazing and I highly recommend.

what is it with me choosing books about car accidents & brain injuries???
Not neat & tidy, as I usually prefer, but well written in my opinion

really enjoyed this book-made you think of all the things you say you are going to do and you let things that don't really matter and time get in the way. Great ending!

Good vacation and airplane read. Didn't have to think and I hope all sad is resolved in the end. At least the other book happened that way.

Really should have read the review that likened this guy to Nicholas Sparks because this was too. moronic. to. finish.

This is a nice book that focuses on love and loss. I think that the author got a bit too caught up on grief though because the minute that the reader thinks things are going great, something tragic happens. This is definitely a tear-jerker that will make you think twice about a lot of things before it's too late and for that alone, I appreciated this book and its subject content.
S/N: I won this book through a Goodreads contest.

This is the best book I've read in awhile! You get to follow a young couple, Ethan and Anna, from the first time they met all the way through their courtship and marriage, watching and listening as their some of their dreams come true and some are tragically dashed. I didn't want to put it down!
