Oh man, what a slog. Not bad per se, but after two or three great first chapters I slowly started to lose interest. I managed to read about 2/3, and although some people think rating a book is bad form if you haven't finished the whole thing, I happen to think I read enough to know whether I liked it or not. I may read the rest at some point, but right now I'm done and will check out the Wikipedia plot summary. Too bad, since I really liked du Maurier's writing.

As a light novella the story can't really go in depth of Mozart's genius, at least that's what I didn't get from it. It's hard to point out exactly my dislikes in this one. It's just didn't appeal to me.

Not sure about the rating yet, review coming up later.

Review coming up.
