In my opinion, this book lacks substance. Okay, the basic idea is original and the end, although somewhat unexpectedly, is valid. The trouble is that, instead of from that frame to create a real plot, with disruption and theater which we liked waiting, Musso is content to follow the skeleton of history by his characters. So to complete the book, we learn what music like heroes, what shows they wear, what they eat restaurant. In the second part, we are entitled to mini-biographies of many secondary characters (the disputes in the family of the Italian painter, the flirtations of the student director, etc ....) that contribute nothing to the history and give the impression that the author applies the method of his hero novelist (make a sheet describing each character, with all the details of his life) and then been sorry at the thought of letting lose everything work. In short, we buy a new, 15 biographies and list of music than appreciated the author.
