Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Music of Time is unlike anything else I've ever read. It's the life story of a writer and a fascinating man--told with many of the gory details often left out of memoirs. These details provide an honest picture of what it's like to be a REAL writer, a true professional, but also allow the reader to get to know the author in a unique way. It's a MUST READ for anyone who wants to be a writer!
Few people (nevermind authors) are as honest about the ups and downs they've experienced in their careers and life. John Minahan takes you along for the whole ride--and you really feel sad at the end of the book that the ride is over (for you). The Music of Time is a book about values that are too often overlooked by our society today. Minahan remained true to a strong set of personal principles, even when it cost him. His life story is one of loyalty and empathy toward people he valued. His story is exuberant with the joy of someone who appreciated everything good that came his way--the little stuff as well as the big stuff. For me, his memoir was a poignant reminder of what matters in life.
