The Soloist
The Soloist continues to be a very intriguing novel. I am so amazed that a gifted musician, a student from Juilliard with a bright career ahead of him, ended up homeless, the street his concert hall and the passersby his audience. Even though he has schizophrenia, with the variety of treatments readily available there should be no reason for him to be living the life he is living. I like that Steve Lopez did not just write a column about Nathaniel Anthony Ayers but did all he could to help his situation, such as collecting instruments to give to Ayers and attempting to get him into a facility to help his schizophrenia.

I like that fact that your post was brief, short, and to the point. Although it was short it had plenty of depth! I like your view-point on the book thus far and i look forward to reading your blog in the near future!
