A review by blairconrad
The Composer Is Dead [With CD (Audio)] by Lemony Snicket
3.0
Pretty good. I'm not entirely sold on the colour illustrations, but the black-and-white silhouettes are pretty good. The "story" is thin, aimed at giving a very brief overview of the instruments in an orchestra, but there are a few funny bits.
I saw the The Composer is Dead performed by the Kitchener Waterloo Symphony, read by Mr. Snicket, and even had [a:Nathaniel Stookey|2919461|Nathaniel Stookey|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg] sit next to me. The performance left the book by itself in the dust, and I'll have to reread the book with the enclosed CD to see how that compares - I expect it'll at least bump the rating up to 4 instead of 3.
