Status Updates From The Magic Strings of Franki...

Albom writes with such beauty and soul that it forces you to look at life with a different lens. The raw emotions you feel from this book cannot be found elsewhere.

Good!

"All humans are musical. Why else would the Lord give you a beating heart." — well, you got me hooked right there, sir. a slight hiccup for me, tho; what the heck is a 5/6 tempo . . .

I love that music is the narrator- beautiful thoughts.

still there ......

"But it is nothing compared with what you humans can destroy in a single conversation."

A great read!

Very interesting read!

Not going to finish.

Serius, hidup frankie keras banget :(

Mana plot twistnya berakhir sedih lagi astaga

i have cried no less than four times

... and then the story got better again. Maybe it is because I have never read an entire biography of someone, especially not a fictional biography. I like this book, though. Maybe I could consider reading historical fictions I may have DNF-ed.

It got interesting on certain chapter, but then it kinda going downhill afterwards? I think I'm starting to just skim through the pages instead of actually getting immersed in the story.

I’m totally weirded (is this even a word?) by the fact that I am reading a book narrated by... Music. Music as a person. I mean, living thing.

It's just the beginning and I am totally into it. Adding icing on the cake, I am listening the audio book side by side. It's so beautifully narrated with the background guitar music. You should definitely try both of them together:)

I'm heartbroken. T_T

Good

She never failed to guess which were his. "How do you always know?" he would ask. "I can hear you in anything," she said.

"Play me the saddest song you got." Frankie hesitated. "Why do you want to hear a sad song?" The man took another swig from the flask. "They're more truer than the happy ones, don'tcha think?"

Silence enhances music. What you do not play can sweeten what you do. But it is not the same with words. What you do not say can haunt you.

Loving te book so far! Learn a lot on music and musici from the old days of all genres. The way it has been written is so interesting. It keeps you reading.

What a weird story.

The real life band inserts are highly entertaining.

Enjoying it so far.

Despite the similarities I am enjoying this much more than Daisy Jones & The Six.

Hmmm interesting characters and memories so far.

I quit. :(

"Everyone joins a band in this life. And what you pay always affects someone."

"Death has no ears. Someone wrote that when Tarrega died. If it did, it could never rob the world of his music."

"'When you want someone to listen to you, will you attack them?'
'No, Maestro.'
'No, you will not. You will make them hear the beauty of what you are offering, and they will want it for themselves.'"
