I think you need an incredibly strong attachment/understanding of opera to enjoy it.
Bel Canto has all the makings of a great book but the pacing is so slow that it's difficult to get through. There's almost no action - you could cut out half of this book and be left with the same story. I didn't even grow very attached to the characters. As a lot of other reviews mention, the epilogue really detracts from the whole story.
Probably the only redeeming part of this story was the last chapter. Almost DNF'd
Wouldn't read again.
