This is a nice book with characters you care bout and want to spend time with.

GWM living in Oregon.I used to love books that would really stretch me, but lately I've needed more solace from the books that I read.
My ratings are as follows: * 5 stars: it's truly a great book, and I'll want to re-read it again and again. * 4 stars: it's a good book, and I enjoyed reading it. I'll probably re-read it. * 3 stars: It's a fine book, just not special. I may re-read it if I'm looking to just relax and not have to think, but I would probably pick up a new book instead. * 2 stars: I finished it, but might have given up if I were in a different mood. * 1 star: I didn't enjoy the book and probably didn't finish it. I wouldn't blanketly recommend it, but it might speak to someone else.

Much like his other books, with one exception
3 stars
This is very similar to his other "Tales of the City" books. If you read those, then you have an idea of what this one will be like.
The one problem I had with this book is that it is written about the past. With the other books, he was basically describing "current events" and the people were all aging along with the books. This is a throw-back to a previous time, and so it felt a bit strange in that way. Not really so different for those who are coming fresh to the books (because for them, they are all in the past), but for people who have read the books as they were released, it just feels a bit odd.

ApparentParadox stopped reading Music Practice by David Dumais
Not the book for me as a hobbyist musician. His focus was on people who are very serious about becoming better musicians. I'm playing an instrument for fun and to exercise my mind, so most of what he talks about isn't useful to me.
