brandidean 's review for:

The Weight of a Piano by Chris Cander
3.0

More like 2.5. Liked the piano ... until it started talking for itself there at the end. Liked the setting and the basic plot. Did not like any of the characters. The main characters were maddeningly helpless to help themselves at all and made such poor choices. And the men in their lives ... ugh.
And why why why would the author choose to transliterate some Russian words and write some in Cyrillic, making it EXTREMELY difficult to look up their meaning???
