4.0 out of 5 stars Very Entertaining 15 Jun 2012
By Marc Hammond - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
This is a really entertaining short story about an elderly man who strives to attain immortality by creating a symphony. He works his entire life to create music that will put his name in the minds of society for all time. As Francisc Goyer finds inspiration, he recalls an encounter with Oscar Wilde as a youth. Within this meeting Goyer describes his idea of artistic immortality. The story is well-written, though-provoking, and original. A quick and highly-enjoyable read that is well worth the price.
2.0 out of 5 stars A Decent Beginning for a Second-Language Writer 30 Dec 2012
By Geni J. White - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
English may not be this writer's first language so he may be doing well considering that likelihood.

This is more a short story than a book and seems to be an attempt at literary fiction. The author needs to improve his metaphors to be less `purple', more logical and exact. He also could be clearer about the purpose of the story. The writing tends to wander from one idea to another.

A decent beginning, however, so I hope this writer will study, learn and continue.
5.0 out of 5 stars A short story not to be missed! 5 Aug 2012
By Katie Jennings - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
This is a lovely and almost haunting short story...very well written with beautiful, flowing language and thoughtful descriptions of intense emotion and tragic loss. It takes you through the mind of an artist, a composer, and his heartache and ambition to achieve immortality with his art. Plus there is a nice "historical" surprise in the story as well, one I didn't expect but was intrigued to read. Very well done!

I received this book free for an honest review, and must say it was one of the best short stories I have read in a long time!
