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.

Catching Fire

New game, new rules, the same thrill and excitement… Right when they thought the game was over, they realized it has only just begun… It was mixed feelings that plagued me when I read The Hunger Games’ sequel,  Catching Fire . At the outset, I was reassured that despite the excruciating scenes I witnessed during the game, Katniss and Peeta could finally breath the air of freedom when the shackles of oppression and dominance were unleashed by their inspiring triumph in the arena. They survived the first death-defying wallop of the post-apocalyptic nation of Panem, they had vanquished the other contenders in a battle to death, and they were ready to see the world—their own fragile, little world in District 12 where their families were waiting in anticipation and joy that they made it through. Yet, things didn’t turn out the way Katniss wanted them to be.  Things were not getting better for her and her long-time friend Gale. Peeta had done far worse that it broke her heart. An
