Sleeping with Schubert (Abridged): A Novel Audiobook

" I actually liked this book. Different concept, but I enjoyed the direction it went. "

" If you are looking for a book with deep meaning this is not your book. This is what I like to call brain candy. Not a lot of substance, but pretty entertaining. Fiction and humor and it's best. Loved it. "

" This is a five star read for a simple reason, the title is deceiving. My mother in law gave it to me as a joke. Joke was on her when I replied, "it is an excellent read." What I liked most about it, was the finish. Simple plot that stuck well all the way through til the end. "

" Interesting story idea, but definitely some adult stuff. "

" The famious composer enters the body/life of a young lawyer. She becomes a pianist studying at Julliard. her loved ones/friends change; she learns to live with someone else and fame. Schubert died of Syphillis at age 31 so didn't achieve respect until after death, so he is enjoying his fame at long last. Humorous, enjoyable book! "

" Fascinating story about an "ordinary" NY attorney who finds herself inhabited by Franz Schubert - it's fairly long, but has held my interest. Can't wait to see how it finally comes out. "

" This was a very good read. About a women suddenly knowing how to play the piano. Unusual concept but well written. "

" Finished this book yesterday! I loved it! It's very funny and a very original story. I highly recommend it! "

" Intriguing concept of inhabitation by Schubert and fun to see the classical concert scene in Manhattan. "

" Fabulous! what an idea, to become posessed by one of the greatest composers in history. Read it! "

" This book tickled me. It is great storytelling, clever, funny, tender. "

" Another one of those books I thought I'd enjoy but didn't. The composer Schubert inhabits the body of a Brooklyn lawyer, Liza Durbin. Sort of like PBS meets "Sex in the City." I had enough interest in it to skim through to see how it ends. But skimming a book is simply not enjoying it. "

" No one in book group could really get into this one. Schubert inhabits this woman's mind and body. Even though I am a piano player and have played Schubert, I just couldn't get into the whole premise. "

" This book was thoroughly entertaining. I understand there is a companion CD but did not have it to listen to as I read the book. There were "laugh out loud" sections to this most unlikely tale. "

" A modern woman is inhabited by the spirit of Franz Schubert. The only reason I read (errr listened to) this book was because I stumbled upon a companion cd of the same title, music of Schubert. A silly story imho. "

" Falls apart under discussion, but thrilling to read. "

" Unhappy attorney is possessed by Franz Schubert, suddenly becomes a manic piano prodigy. During the emotional whirlwind, ends up performing at Carnegie Hall, battling her eccentric family, ditching her emotionally distant boyfriend. "

" This is great chick lit. The main character suddenly becomes a virtuoso and becomes extremely in the sexy in the process. If you're feeling down this book is great pick-me-up, a fantasy-fulfillment book that's just fun and quirky. "

" Once you get past the idea that a famous dead composer can inhabit the body of a modern woman, this book was pretty good. I really liked a lot of the minor characters, and I thought the conclusion was handled very well. I feel like I should go out and get a Schubert CD to listen to, though. "

" I found this book well written, entertaining, and I really enjoyed the story. I couldn't wait to get back to it and would linger on for a while before I'd stop. I think it would make an pretty good movie too, if someone could find a really good way to port Schubert into the mix. "

" I had so much fun reading this book. Being a musician, the premise naturally appealed to me. It's a fantasy, but I didn't have any problem buying into it and just enjoying the ride. Wouldn't we all liked to be "occupied" by a genius, maybe just for a short time? "

" If you read this, do the audio book because they play Schubert's music through the whole recording and his music is so beautiful. The story is pretty silly but taken pretty seriously if such a thing as Schubert taking over someone's body actually happened. "

" The premise is a bit quirky but I really enjoyed it. "

" I was really surprised that I liked this book so much. I picked it up at my local library and thought it would be pretty silly, however, it was very enjoyable with several laugh-out-loud moments. Plus I learned something about the composer, Schubert. I would definitely recommend this book. "

" This book pleasantly surprised me! "

" Intriguing concept of inhabitation by Schubert and fun to see the classical concert scene in Manhattan. "

" I love the first half of the book, but the author didn't have a clear view on how to end it. "

" Really enjoyed this book. Very different story from anything I have read before. What if you woke up and were able to play Schubert having never once played the piano? Schubert actually shares your body. Told you it was a different and entertaining story. "

" Well, it's a very light read - but enjoyable and entertaining. I even learned a bit about Franz Schubert. "

" I guess I didn't find it all that entertaining "

" A modern woman is inhabited by the spirit of Franz Schubert. The only reason I read (errr listened to) this book was because I stumbled upon a companion cd of the same title, music of Schubert. A silly story imho. "

" Not intellectually stimulating, but the kind of good fiction in which you can totally lose yourself. Ahh... summer reading! <br/> "

" An easy, fun read--Shubert's soul &quot;inhabits&quot; the body of a New York attorney, Liza Durbin, who then begins a &quot;new&quot; life as an accomplished concert pianist. As improbable as that sounds, it really had me thinking about the possibilities for tapping into our hidden talents. "

" Fluff. You learn a bit about the classical music world, but fluff. "

" I had so much fun reading this book. Being a musician, the premise naturally appealed to me. It's a fantasy, but I didn't have any problem buying into it and just enjoying the ride. Wouldn't we all liked to be &quot;occupied&quot; by a genius, maybe just for a short time? "

" I actually liked this book. Different concept, but I enjoyed the direction it went. "

" Fabulous! what an idea, to become posessed by one of the greatest composers in history. Read it! "

" Fascinating story about an &quot;ordinary&quot; NY attorney who finds herself inhabited by Franz Schubert - it's fairly long, but has held my interest. Can't wait to see how it finally comes out. "

" listening too - so far so good, a more cultured chick lit so far. -- Good reader and sweet story, nice character development, chicklitish plot bit not fluffy. Well, not OVERLY fluffy "
