Commentary Concering Books A Voice in the Distance (Flynn Laukonen #2)
In his final year at the Royal College of Music, star pianist Flynn Laukonen has the world at his feet. He has moved in with his girlfriend Jennah and is already getting concert bookings for what promises to be a glittering career. Yet he knows he is skating on thin ice - only two small pills a day keep him from plunging back into the whirlpool of manic depression that once threatened to destroy him. Unexpectedly his friends seem to be getting annoyed with him for no apparent reason, he needs less and less sleep, he is filled with unbridled energy. Events begin to spiral out of control and Flynn suddenly finds himself in hospital, heavily sedated, carnage left behind him. The medication isn't working any more, the dose needs to be increased, and depression strikes again, this time with horrific consequences. His freedom is snatched away and the medicine's side-effects threaten to jeopardize his chances in one of the biggest piano competitions of his life. It seems like he has to make a choice between the medication and his career. But in all this he has forgotten the one person he would give his life for, and Flynn suddenly finds himself facing the biggest sacrifice of all.

I made a big mistake here and I'm not too proud to admit it. I didn't actually realise this was a sequel when I picked up the book at the library (to be fair, nowhere on the cover does it say 'sequel to' or 'second book' etc - in fact, lots of sequels don't actually say they're sequels so how the eff are you meant to know without being wikipedia?) And I did not realise this was a sequel until the 75% mark when I decided to go and check out what other people thought of the book, and went, hang onWhen I have time, I'll write a longer review, because this novel deserves one. A very sad but beautiful book about a talented musician battling depression. I'm really starting to like Tabitha Suzuma's work... this is definitely a book I'd recommend. Cheers!
Back in the days, in Year 10, before I discovered Goodreads, I randomly picked up this book at the school library. Like many other readers, I only read this book and didnt even know there was a first book until I finished it. That didnt matter.A Voice in the Distance has got to be in the top 3 most beautiful books Ive ever read. Suzuma captures both Jennah and Flynns point of views so well. Her writing style distinctly alternates between them where Jennah is written with deep, well-thought out
This is how it all ends?! I definitely should not be writing my review right now because I've just finished and this one has left me a wreck! I was hoping desperately to see (when I got on the computer just now) that I was wrong, and that there will in fact be a third book, but the publication was in like 2008 so I'm pretty sure this was meant to be it and I'm CRUSHED! This one was far better than the first book for me. Maybe it's the relationship in this book that made me feel that way because
After reading Tabitha Suzumas A Note of Madness I couldnt resist reading the sequel A Voice in the Distance. I read a few pages a couple of days back and yesterday I finished the whole book. It is not often that I read a whole book in a day. Here is what I think.A Voice in the Distance continues the story of A Note of Madness. Flynn, who is diagnosed with bipolar disorder, manages to stay normal by medication and periodic medical checkups. Jennah and Flynn now live together and are very much in
The ending of A Voice in the Distance was like, "Hey, how's your hope going on? Still doing good? Well you might wanna loosen your grip on it a bit, since it would hurt less when I yank it away." But of course, I didn't, so you can easily imagine how it went. It kinda remind me of the ending of Me Before You, but thankfully not that tearful. If you love someone, learn to let them go.I hate it that it was sad, but I understand.4 stars
