The Final Post

The Soloist definitely, was one of the best books I have ever read. Im so glad this was chosen for our class. The reason why I think I enjoyed this book so much was the fact it was a current story. For some reason current books seem to interest me a lot more. I made a connection with Nathaniel Ayers, and I understood the love and compassion he had with music. Although, it was a good story it also taught me a lesson. I learned about a disease I was not familiar with, schizophrenia. I never really considered the effects this can play on a persons dreams or goals, which was the case in Ayers' life. This book taught me a value of life as long as their is someone who cares for you, you can get through anything.
