A review by jennshappyplace
Bel Canto by Ann Patchett

3.5

I hesitated picking up this book. I don’t know anything about opera and the hostage situation wasn’t a pull either. However, Ann Patchett has written some of my favorite books I’ve read in the last few years so because of that I picked this one up. I wasn’t immediately sucked in but over time I found I really wanted to know what happened to the characters. I listened to this one but I think because of all the different characters it made it hard to follow sometimes. However, overall I was amazed with how the author wove the story. I was sad when it was over. My biggest complaints either the ending is it’s too abrupt and that we don’t know what happens to more of the characters. This isn’t my favorite Ann Patchett but I’m really glad I read it.
