review 1: This was a superb read. I don't know if it just hit me at the right time, or if it was a combination of the wonderful, if bitchy, voice of the main character and interesting subject matter, but I'd take time to read this again. I'll admit I went watched a couple performances of Swan Lake on Youtube while reading this to get a better idea of what was going on. Good on Meg Howrey to make a classical art (and one I have no prior contact or understanding) intriguing.
review 2: I absolutely loved this. Maybe it's the fact that I'm currently dancing a lead role (in a muuuuch smaller scale, not classical ballet production, but still) and am feeling super in touch with all those dancer neuroses, but wow. And then there was this line: "But I had that moment onstage, tha... moret moment when you're not thinking about steps, and you're not counting music, and dance -real dance- comes out of your body and you are extraordinary and it is beyond any small, dull word like "happiness" or "satisfaction". You make the gods jealous in such a moment, I suppose.". OH MY GOD. Absolutely perfectly sums up how it feels to feel extraordinary onstage. I've only felt it a handful of times and I've failed to find words to describe it all those times. So bravo, Meg Howery, for finding the perfect ones. less
