The Music of Silence: A Memoir by Stanislao G. Pugliese, Andrea Bocelli
3.0
I LOVE Andrea Bocelli! The very first album of his that I listened to was my grandma's copy of Romanza, that I have since bought a copy of for myself. I also own other albums of his, and his concert DVD's that I own are my special pride and joy.
Bocelli chose to write his autobiography in third person, and his main character is "Amos Bardi." We see Amos from birth to boyhood to pianist to classical superstar. His writing also had to be translated from English, so it's not smooth. I don't mind the choppiness-- I've heard him speak in the DVD's that I have and I could hear his voice in my mind sharing about his life.
This book also contains photos: of himself, horses and dogs, his parents, his first wife, family, and friends.
Probably not a book I will return to and re-read, but as a great fan of his, I did enjoy this chance to peek inside his life.
