Status Updates From The Magic Strings of Franki...

"[...] I have told you I can see all fortunes. Is it beyond me to share this power now and then? Should I always do nothing and let the music die?" (pg. 237)

"For my disciples, the map is simple. All lonely roads lead back to music. I embrace you. I forgive you.
I will never leave you.
Can humans say the same?"
(pg. 229)

"I have said that music allows for quick creation. But it is nothing compared with what you humans can destroy in a single conversation." (pg. 196)

"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."

(pg. 147)

"'Man suffers for his art, Francisco. That is what you must remember. Sometimes it is cannibals. Sometimes it is worse.'" (pg. 124)

"Everyone jobs a band in this life.
One way or another, the band breaks up."
(pg. 116)

"Truth is light. Lies are shadows. Music is both." (pg. 85)

"Truth is light. Lies are shadows. Music is both." (pg. 85)

""You cannot write if you do not read,' the blind man said. 'You cannot eat if you do not chew. And you cannot play [guitar/music] if you do not' -- he grabbed for the boy's hand -- 'listen.'"

"... There is a reason you glance up when you first year a melody, or tap your foot to the sound of a drum.
All humans are musical.
Why else would the Lord give you a beating heart?"

This book is nothing like I originally thought it would be. It show the life and death of Frankie and is narrated by music and the occasional other person who knew Frankie. So far I like the book and want to keep reading.

خیلی خوبه

I feel like this book is trying very hard to be the next "the book thief". So far I'm oddly disappointed because I usually love Mitch Albom's books.

So addictive although I can assume that the ending will be tragic..

I wasn't sure whether to start this book or not, but it has passed my 100 pages in one sitting test. 😃

Really enjoying it.

slowly reading this book because I don't want to finish it yet😭😭

ugghhh my heart!

Absolutely loved this book! If you read one book this year, let this be it.

I love it so far, very interesting

MY HEART THIS IS SO BEAUTIFULLY DONE I'M JUST AT PART 3 BUT I'VE ALREADY CRIED TWICE!

"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." Pg. 147

"But just because something is silent doesn't mean you aren't hearing it." Pg. 95

Getting a little dark.

This is great story.

This book is fascinating.

Awesome love a lot

Ever get the feeling of being around halfway through a book and realize it's going to be an all-time favorite, not just this year but around a top 25 ever?? Getting that feeling with this book. Hard to put down.

Interesting
