Book Review of From Blue to Black

From Blue to Black
reviewed on + 11 more book reviews


What a lovely, painful book. The prose is enchanting, but dark. It leaves bruises. The tone mixes nostalgia with remorse and regret, and it's one of the few books I feel does well with first person narration. This book reads like music, which is appropriate, because the subject is music. Just don't expect a light read, or a gentle one. This book is out to show hurt, and it's successful.
