Status Updates From The Magic Strings of Franki...

The world in the life of music! Interesting!

Not the type of book I usually read, but it was recommended by my mother. Seems interesting.

i love this book a lot. especially the new old music im finding.

قریحه موسیقی در استخوان ها نیست. در لب ها یا شش ها یا حتی در دست ها نیست. من موسیقی هستم و موسیقی در پیوندِ جانِ انسان هاست، به زبانی سخن می گوید که به کلام نیاز ندارد.

همه در این زندگی به گروهی می پیوندند. آن چه می نوازید و اجرا می کنید بر کسی تأثیر می گذارد. گاهی هم بر جهان تأثیر می گذارد.

Just finished part 1. whoo boy, that last chapter was heartbreaking.

no, just no... I cannot

حقیقت نور است.
دروغ‌ ها سایه هستند.
موسیقی هر دو است.

This is a very easy read. I’m loving it so far

Incredible!

Loooove it so far!

I usually give a book 50 pages before I decide if I want to keep reading. This one wasn't grabbing me. Each chapter written by a different person was annoying. I decided to stick with it a little further since it has received high ratings. Somewhere before 100 pages I became hooked. Looking forward to reading more.

the prose in this book is amazing. loving every second. sad i have to put it down for a few tho

Interesting

My heart just dropped and I'm so excited to read on!

Fifth string is done. Now it's time for the last string.

It was 10pm. I am tired and want to read the ending of this book while awake so I put the book down to sleep. Fast forward to 130am. I cannot sleep. I turn on the light and finish reading the book. I usually never have a problem sleeping. This book kept me awake until I finished it. Lovely book!

I mean...really....this book is so good...I cannot hardly put it down. This is definitely a must read for everybody!

Really?!? This book is getting better and better and is such a delightful surprise! I cannot believe I almost put it back on the library shelf. That would have been a colossal mistake!

What a great book!

"'Sing the song."

"But I don't want to."

"Why not?"

"I'm scared."

"Yes. And you will be scared again. All your life. You must conquer this. Face them and pretend they aren't there. [ . . . ] You can do it. Always remember I said you can do it."

(pg. 408)

"Rooms are rooms, after all, as a music staff is a music staff. How you fill them is what makes them your own." (pg. 393)

"The greatest thing, you'll ever learn / Is just to love, and be loved in return." (pg. 373)

The ending of "Part 1" just got me shocked and speechless yet again for the second time reading the book. How can a writer be so immersed in his writing that his readers actually feel every single word on the pages? I just love it!!!

I have dearly missed Frankie Presto, his story brings in so much.

This book has a strange cadence to it. We will see if I settle into it or not.

So far the story is intriguing, descriptive, and engaging.

Mitch Albom breaks my heart every few chapters and I still love him for it

So stinking good!!! I’m in love!
