Beethoven's Hair: An Extraordinary Historical Odyssey and a Scientific Mystery Solved by Russell Martin

4.0

I have to admit, I really enjoyed this book. After reading a friend's review, I wondered if I should even finish it. I would agree this book isn't for everyone. Looking through other reviews, I would say you either love the book or hate it. The history of the Danish people helping the Jews during WW2 was fascinating to me. I also loved hearing about Beethoven's relationship with other composers. I have played much of their music, but didn't know anything about them. Following Beethoven's hair around the world finally ending in Tucson, Arizona made for an interesting read. So, sorry to my good friend who read the book after I said I was interested in it. Maybe next time we will be on the same page.
