Get ready to laugh! Get ready to tap your toes! Get ready to take a fresh look at what it means to “love your neighbor” and to “turn the other cheek” (not that one, you nitwit!). Set in ancient Jerusalem, SYMPHONY OF LIFE mostly tells the story of Joel, a corrupt tax collector who’s in desperate need of a swift kick in the pants. But there’s also a cadre of irate marketplace vendors all vying to be the one to deliver the humbling blow; a spunky, young widow who wishes she had more than two pitiful mites to cast into the offering box at the temple treasury; a pair of star-crossed lovers.

Wow! A musical turned into a book. What a cool concept! The author cleverly weaves together several stories and parables from the new testament into a plot about a villainous tax collector who has a rude awakening when he comes into contact with the Samaritan and the poor Widow of the Widow's Mite fame. All the characters are well-drawn and their banter is funny. Broadway-worthy songs pop up seamlessly in the narrative, enhancing the story. Some are funny, others stir emotion, but all are first class--definitely more than I was expecting.
The timely messages of loving your neighbor, forgiveness, and grace were skillfully and thoughtfully executed. The narrator was fantastic, delivering distinguishable voices for each character. I didn't want to stop listening. I didn't want it to end. I would give it 10 stars if I could. Buy it! I promise you won't be disappointed. I am going to purchase a hardcopy for my family library too. The world needs more uplifting content like this.

After reading great reviews and seeing a young girl reading Graceling while I waited for my son at the orthodonitist's office, I figured it would be a slam dunk. I was shocked at the blatant anti-marriage, anti-children/family platform. The author even encouraged and praised the value of taking a "lover" and engaging in premarital sex instead of losing freedom and tying yourself down to a man in marriage. There was even a graphic/icky scene of the Gracling losing her virginity. I stopped listening halfway through and skipped to the last 20 minutes of the book to see if the protagonist had changed her views of marriage. Alas, the author reconfirmed her antimarriage stance in the last few paragraphs and the Gracling and her "lover" engaged in a graphic, sexually fulfilling (ha!) romp on the beach. The target audience of this book is young, teenaged girls! Is it any wonder we have a sexually irresponsible society with high teenage pregnacy and STD rates?
