3.0 out of 5 stars
Suspense, romance, and music, music, music...,
By
This review is from: Silent Sonata (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the story of Devin, an incredibly classical pianist with "pedestrian" taste (the author obviously believes pomo is the way to go) who has the added talent of being able to channel dead composers. They possess his hands and mind to have their music play again as they would play it (gads, I knew musicians were ego maniacs, but I never thought it was that bad!)
It's also the story of Suzanne, a music scholar, and the step daughter of a po-mo composer. She normally shuns Devin and the type of music he plays. Then, her dead stepfather possesses Devin during a concert she's attended. In addition, the piece he plays is one never played before, it's also a composition that has recently been stolen from her house. There's all sorts of intrigue and 20th century politics played out in this story. It's quite good in that arena. I found the romance forced, however. Lots of "hey babe" sex, but no real reason for these two characters to stay together. I think it would have been better without the romance!! (*)> |
