Symphony X

The viola in a classical orchestra is usually the butt of jokes. Here, Katie the violist, is funny but the butt of jokes she is not. This book scorches! There's the mystery of the switched journals, the sex games Katie pursues, and...can you believe it? Love! Plus an insider's view of the orchestra pit. As a violist myself, I want to say: BRAVO Ms. Stone. I'm no Katie but I wish I were - minus the cheating husband part.

This book is funny, funny strange and funny ha ha. That's why I liked it. I could do without the vocabulary lessons - you'll see what I mean. However I thought the sex was very exciting, especially the scene in the sex club with the partition. The musical parts of the books have made it a cult classic in the symphonic world. I know. At the NY Phil is where I thumbed through a very well used copy. I decided to buy my own. It's one unique musical ride on the theme of love.

I want to be on that tour!!! Symphony X offers a good time for all, especially the narrator. Makes me wonder how much of this is based on a true story! I happen to know that the author is a member of the band for Neil Diamond. I won't say more but if their "off" hours are anything like Katie's are in Symphony X, let me be a fly on the wall or a groupee!!

I've sort of read this book twice. The first time through, I skipped around to the juicy scenes (sex clubs, musical chairs involving copulation, truth or dare - involving...guess!). But then, I found myself laughing so much at surrounding scenes that I decided to go back and read the whole book. All I can say is, you will too. I also read Ms. Stone's other book but this one is much better. It's nice to know that some authors can improve. Highly recommended.

This book is erotic fiction for women and I'm a male, so I'm outside the target demographic. But I found it to be a great read, ... . Okay, maybe the acts described are from a different page in the menu, but it's all coming out of the same kitchen, so what's the problem?Besides, the stuff between the naughty bits is far more entertaining than in the usual book of this sort. The descriptions of orchestra politics, bowing etiquette, travel realities and such ring very true....
