cardinalcardigan 's review for:

The Soloist: A Lost Dream, an Unlikely Friendship, and the Redemptive Power of Music by Steve López

4.0

---

Steve Lopez puts his story with Mr. Nathaniel Sayers into words in the most breathtaking way. He captured not only Ayers mental illness but his love for music in a way that did not let one out weigh the other. What started out as a book for school quickly became a pleasure read and one that I would recommend to anyone who is interested in homelessness, LA, music, friendship, or mental illness. This book is also a great one to read if you just like reading.
