A review by nomefriegues
The Composer Is Dead [With CD (Audio)] by Lemony Snicket

3.0

Y'all know I love me some Lemony Snicket! And I love the premise of this book, and I love the illustrations, but I honestly found the musical accompaniment so boring! I say that with the caveat that I do not love the orchestra, and non-lyrical music rarely does it for me. It was well-composed and went well with the story, but it was difficult to read along to because there would be a full minute and a half where I was waiting to turn the page. I also felt that the percussion section really got short shrift with this!

If I had somehow not had the musical accompaniment and narration (which was excellent, by the way) and just been reading the book, this may have been better for me.
