Review # 1 was written on 2016-02-23 00:00:00 Therese Hagemann This wasn't originally on my reading list, but a Shelfari friend recommended it as one of Berlioz's best books. The premise is that the players in an orchestra have conversations during boring operas, telling stories and so forth. It is a miscellaneous collection of satire, music criticism, music biography and other things; very uneven but some is very funny. There's even a science fiction story set in 2330. Some of the items are in other works by Berlioz which I had already read.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-04-25 00:00:00 Bridget Lynn Reading this book was like being in a dysfunctional relationship with a dead genius. When I began it, I loved it. I found it hilarious but also frustrating, fascinating etc., and then it started to get on my nerves and bore me, to frustrate me and piss me off, and by the time I got to the end I was so ready to be done with that I wanted to throw it out the window.
