I love this book! This is my second reading, for it called to me across the decade since I had first read it. Fascinating in the history it tells, wonderful in the passion it explores, and made even more excellent with a reader who has the perfect accent. I walk around all day with the phrases in my head. A masterpiece!

I enjoyed this book. i am a native nuevomexicana and have studied flamenco off and on at the University of New Mexico. there is an enchatment about both flamenco and NM and this book captures that tie very well. the story at times was a little too dramatic for my taste, but overall it was a great book.

love flamenco, love NM

The beginning was slow, and felt like it took too long to set the up the characters, but after the intial staging, I could not stop listening to this book. I was captivated by the hypnotic way she pronounced the names, the places the flamenco. It made me want to research the dance, the places she mentioned and the history of the Gypsy. I was transported back and could hear the guitar the clicking of the shoes and the wailing of poet. I was constantly amazed at the twists and turns as the characters developed matured. I am a romantic, and this book certainly fulfilled my high expectations.

Captivating

Maybe because I'm a beginning flamenca, but I loved this book, word-for-word. Yes, the plot is romantic, but the real love affair is between dancers and their dance. The narrator is brilliant, channeling the eternal heartbreak of the gypsies through the losses, thwarted loves and difficult friendship of the principal character. I do not think this book would have been as good if I had read it, rather than "heard" it!

Mesmerizing

I read this book about 6-7 years ago and loved it then... But I have to say with a little extra age and the brilliant delivery of the performer, this has easily become one of my favorite books of all time. Literary preference is intensely subjective; this book resonates with me on a very personal level. I am from NM and I am also a pale, strawberry blonde in love with a culture different from my own. But all that aside, the rich story telling and the deep character development has created a novel that completely transplants me as I read or listen to it. Also, Alyssa's (performer) ability to deliver all the accents and speak the language was fantastic and seriously well executed.

Excellent

The transitions between chapters were horrible at time. Cut too rough and too quickly. Other than that, truly magical tale.

Beautiful and…

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I have no idea, maybe a 12 year old girl?

Would you ever listen to anything by Sarah Bird again?

No

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

Fairly good pronunciation, albeit a little over-dramatic. Oh wait, that may have been the writing.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Flamenco Academy?

Everything that had to do with the two main characters. That would have left the story about the Flamenco teacher, which was the more interesting thread in the book.

Any additional comments?

This made me not want to listen to Flamenco or hear Flamenco ever again.

Torturous chick lit
