Commentary Toward Books A Note of Madness (Flynn Laukonen #1)

Why is this happening to me? he asked himself desperately. What is wrong with me? Life as a student should be good for Flynn. He's one of the top pianists at the Royal College of Music, he has been put forward for an opportunity-of-a-lifetime concert, and he's got great friends. But beneath the surface, he's falling apart. On a good day he feels full of energy and life, but on a bad day being alive is worse than being dead. Sometimes he wants to compose and practice all night, at other times he can't get out of bed. With the pressure of the forthcoming concert and the growing concern of his family and friends, emotions come to a head. Sometimes things can only get worse before they get better.

Comment On Epithetical Books A Note of Madness (Flynn Laukonen #1)

Not grabbing me. Moving on

Dear Tabitha, thank you for sending me such a fabulous book!A Note of Madness is a compelling story, very moving, heart-breaking, emotional and a gripping read!For someone who works with young people in education I found this story very helpful and informative on the subject of mental illness.Tabitha loves to chalenge herself with taboo themes. Her style of writing totally draws you in to Flynn's world and makes you really understand how he is feeling. Honestly and beautifully written.Overall:

Tabitha Suzuma is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors.I didn't realise this was the first of two books, but it reads fine as a standalone novel anyway. I hadn't intended to read on, but I just love Suzuma's writing too much. I've reserved the next novel at the library.I found this quite similar to Hurt in a couple of ways; firstly, the protagonist is a young male who is experiencing something very unpleasant but important to talk about. Instead of rape, as in Hurt, this time the topic

WOW! WOW! WOW!!!! This was awesome awesome awesome!!!! I read this in 24 hours and I was sucked in from the start. It's amazing and emotional and shows you firsthand what people with depression and bipolar go through. Their lives are so difficult and hard to imagine. I went through the highs and lows that Flynn went through. Me heart broke for him over and over again. I cried and stared wide-eyed at my kindle, my heart raced so fast at certain parts at his thoughts or when he was at his lowest.

This book deals with the topic of bipolar disorder. The protagonist in this book doesnt start experiencing it until he is an eighteen year-old in college. Its a rather scary and sudden thing for him to deal with, and an important thing this book displays is that when something like that affects one person, it tends to affect those closest to him as well.I like how in many of Suzumas books, the protagonist has an important hobby or skill that they spend time improving on. In this book, its Flynns

A Note of Madness is a gripping look into what it's like to struggle with mental illness, particularly as a creative person. I really sympathized with Flynn, the protagonist, as he deals with the pressure of being a piano prodigy and the ensuing spiral of depression he goes through when he feels like he's not good enough. A lot of things in this book really struck a chord with me (no pun intended ... okay maybe intended a little). I'm not really a musician, but as a writer/artist I understand

"I would give anything to escape myself, Flynn thought, just for a day, just for a minute even. Just to know what it was like to think differently, to feel differently, and to not be me. The wonders of Tabitha Suzumas writing have been sung by the choir of Goodreads for years. It was only natural that when I found this for a dollar at a used bookstore, I simply had to buy it. And all of her other books off of Thriftbooks. It was the only natural progression. It took over a year for me to
