Representaion Concering 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.

A gripping story about one teenager's possible decent into madness.I loved the way Suzuma managed to portray and delve deep into a disturbed individual's mind, affected by the pressures of society and its mere existence in this world. The scene where the main character and his friends physically struggled with each other in their room is very powerful and unforgettable.The only downside is that Flynn can sometimes get a little repetitive in terms of his actions, bogging down the novel duringI thought it was ok, if lightweight. I enjoyed Forbidden a bit more, that has to be said, and even though I did feel sorry for Flynn, and I'm sure that he was in dreadful pain, he really grated my nerves at times. I have to say, maybe my disappointment was my own fault. When I was told that this book was about a classical pianist, I decided to read it without looking at the synopsis, so I only found out after starting to read it that the author was going to focus a lot more on his bipolar
A few months ago, I read Ms. Suzuma's book, Forbidden - which was the first book I've ever read that made me cry (not just a bit of moisture, full on tears!). Immediately I went to see what other work she had published, and picked up A Note of Madness, her debut novel.I knew from the beginning this book would be another tough read, but it was so worthwhile. Ms. Suzuma writes with an intensity that is impossible to walk away from - I was incredibly emotionally invested in this book right from the

This book.....I LOVE IT.I LOVE IT.I.LOVE.IT.It's a beautiful madness,crazy,energetic and dramatic.I love everything about this book,the story,the characters,the challenge,the trauma,EVERYTHING.At first,when Flynn was going all loco because of the concert before I knewabout "Bi Polar Disorder" he reminded me of the movie Black Swan,I thoughthe was just seeking for the non-existent perfection like Natalie Portman.Then,I thought with all the mood swings,that he's schizophrenic.Harry,is just the
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:
*4.5 stars* A beautiful, albeit exhausting portrait of mental illness.Jumping faster and faster from the exciting sparks of energy, inspiration and will to live to the pitch black bottom of despair to the cold numbness, just to start it all again and again isn't easy.I will be wishing for the best, while expecting the worst.
