3.0 out of 5 stars Average..expecting more but got less!, March 27, 2007

By	mikel_understatement (USA) - See all my reviews

I was expecting that all the music from the same album will be on this music book, but unfortunately, as previously mentioned by the first person to comment on this product, "Awake", "Verita", and "Smile" were missing.

Musical notations are simplified [based on the comparison that i made on the two previous groban music books: Josh Groban and Closer]. Helpful for beginners but not quite fulfilling and helpful for advance music players.

In this regard, was expecting more but got less.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Little Disappointed.....:(, March 21, 2007

By	Christina Penicaro (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love Josh Groban --- I am prob one of his biggest fans!! I have to say not all his songs are in this book --- the ones that I looked forward to singing the most werent in it at all. Awake, Smile -- my most favorite werent. Also I loved that the last book included the English translation -- this doesnt. Im not sure if it was because of printing policies but not all the songs are in this book. Oh well !! Im still a BIG fan!!

4.0 out of 5 stars I was surprised, both good and bad., April 10, 2007

By	V. Alexander (Corinth, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was extremely excited when this book arrived. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the printed music contains most of the actual musical arrangement as recorded on the CD of the same name. My NOT-so-pleasant surprise was that nearly half of the songs are written in a different key than the music was recorded, thereby making "playing along" impossible for someone who can't transpose music in their head. (I notified the publisher of my disappointment, and suggested they not do this in the future.)

But the book is absolutely AWESOME!!
