solo saxophone i have read this book and i rate this book 4.3 stars for the story and 3 .5 the topic of the story. This book shows the story of a young war reporter on her first job in an under siege city. The things she saw, the feelings she felt, the people she met and how, in the middle of all that mess, people turned to music as a way of escape. This is, just as in lots of other books, an opportunity to see how war really is, how devious and crooked people’s minds can be.

The book Aileen and I chose was "Solo Saxophone" Looking out of the hotel window, I gazed at the beautiful sunset painting the sky pink. Mountains and hills rose all around the city of Sarajevo. They say that this place used to be a beautiful place to visit. However, it all changed when the war began. No living things seem to move in the silent, empty streets. Cars must be driven fast to avoid the snipers that are waiting to take down their prey. The majestic mountains and hills are now full of soldiers eager to spill some blood. The charming old buildings now looked as if they are collapsing. Bullet holes are scattered in their walls. below me, there is a ruined park. Trees stand barren without leaves. There is more mud than grass. Smoke rises from a building on my left and people cower in their doorless and windowless homes. In the distance, the high, sad sound of a solo saxophone calls out over the war torn city.
