The Student Conductor



This is among the books I never thought of reading. When I saw this literary piece on a pile of literature in a local bookstore, I was captivated by its intriguing title. My intuition was right when it persuaded me to rope it in to my collection and probably find it interesting.
Cascading powerful themes, The Student Conductor significantly fueled my interest in the world of music. The revelation of its spectacular cast of characters, however, enthralled me unexpectedly. Each character plays a very imperative role in the development of an engrossing and sterling story that certainly brings something more than entertainment to its readers.
Love, carnal desires, vestiges of hostilities, and the cut-throat scrimmage in the world of orchestra are all swayed into an incredible novel of superb plot. This thought-provoking book is about a young symphony conductor’s odyssey through Germany where he faces his challenges from showcasing his remarkable talent, his interests and his personal diffidence through achieving his dreams.
Personally, I would consider this arresting book a beautiful ensemble of music, romance, politics, and life. I was drawn by the storyline that keeps on spattering surprises from page to page. My wonderment was always at the height until the story comes to its unexpected conclusion.
Meet Cooper Barrow and enjoy Ford’s amazing flair through this intense, sweltering and indulging tale that will surely take you on a beautiful trip speckled with glimpses of the world’s complexities and life’s drama.

Graceling

For an award-winning debut book, this is breathtaking! Written with flair and elegance,  Graceling  is one of the spellbinding reads that quench my hunger for fantasy books.

A Torch Against the Night

“Your emotions make you human, Elias said to me weeks ago in the Serran Range. Even the unpleasant ones have a purpose. If you ignore them, they just get louder and angrier.” Although this book is a best-seller, I cannot say that this is a can’t-put-it-down read because it took me several weeks to finish flipping on its pages. To be honest, it was a tedious start. But as the story built up, it brought me to different places and introduced me to other interesting characters. I found it a good read. At times, it was a breathtaking feat following Elias and Laia on their journey as they run for their lives. I was thrilled while racing with them away from the Martial soldiers who hunt them and consider them fugitives of the Empire. The long and menacing expedition required me some deep breaths, but I was enamored by Laia’s bravery to defy and fight the enemies in order to save her brother—who is believed to be the key to the Scholars’ survival—from the treacherous prison. And Elias, ...

The Thief

“I had wanted everyone to know that I was the finest thief since mortal men were made, and I must have come close to accomplishing the goal. Huge crowds had gathered for my trial. Most of the guards in the prison had turned out to see me after my arrest, and I was endlessly chained to my bed when other prisoners were sometimes allowed the freedom and sunshine of the prison’s courtyard.” True to its deserved outstanding literary distinction,  The Thief  exemplifies the elements of a real winner. With this book, my fascination for young adult fiction fantasy is reassured and further rounded up, especially when I began to travel with Eugenides or “Gen”, the queen’s thief. He can steal everything, except himself out of the king’s prison. Young, clever and distinctively fast, this spirited character is capable of capturing the hearts and imaginations of the readers by drawing the story to the gates of exciting quests packed with adventure, mystery, enchantment, and nerve-r...
