[Dale Harcombe · Rating 1 out of 5]

The one star is for the first part of the book which had me interested enough for a time in the character of Lizzy and her singing. But I got beyond it. Part of that was due to the writing style. I became irritated by the proliferation of clumps of sentences starting with words ending in 'ing', eg
'Unbuttoning her coat, Lizzy took out a notebook and pen from her music case.' Really! There were several other examples of these sort of badly structured sentences on the same page and far too many other pages. I also got over the character once she got involved with Eduardo and then later Leo. Decided I didn't care enough to read any more.

Ich weiß nicht... es war weird, ich glaube ich war zu jung für dieses Buch... Mein Opa hat es mir geschenkt, er fand es gut, idk...

The book started off great, but then it took me ages to get into the storyline, not as fast paced as other books that I have read. It had a good ending though.

Lizzy follows her dreams ans sings like an angel, finds love looses love and finds it again..

I really adored this book when I was 15. Maybe I need to read it again as an adult.

Das Buch in wenigen Worten: langweilig, zäh und ziemlich vorhersehbar. Es hat mich leider gar nicht überzeugen können.

Butter bei die Fische. Blass, langweilig und außer jede Menge Drama passiert nichts. Ich habe es daher nach 100 Seiten abgebrochen.

Song of the Bellbirds by Sydney author, Anne McCullagh Rennie, follows the fortunes of a young Australian singer from Queensland, in her quest to become a professional opera singer.

All young Lizzie Foster wants to do is help out on the family farm and sing while doing so. However, life has other plans...for her.

Eventually she is asked to go to Vienna and study with the best of the best. It is in Vienna that she meets her one true love. After several years Lizzie returns to Australia and her home own and vows never to sing again. That is, until.....

Song of the Bellbirds has nearly an all female cast of characters...a change from the thrillers and crime genre novels I usually listen to, or read.

I thoroughly enjoyed Song of the Bellbirds and think it deserves its four star rating.
