Finally I read it too. After having had a few copies available. I enjoyed the first pages more than the rest. It was missing something... maybe some heaviness.
- Elegant storytelling and beautiful writing.
- Loved the allusions to Beethoven.
- Especially intrigued by the contrast of the characters in light (ha!) of their desire for "lightness" and "weight"
Just all around a wonderful book.
