dommdy 's review for:

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

4.0

I suffer from mental illness and l like to read about how others fare, even if it’s difficult. I’ve read a few books about mentally ill street dwellers and this is one that shows how an astonishingly talented person with profound difficulties can progress in a positive way. I do believe the author may have been really blessed by his often frustrating relationship with his friend.
