review 1: The Big Wide Calm: a Novel by Rich Marcello is a first read win and I'm giving my honest opinion. This is a beautiful book with a haunting story line. The characters arte reverently drawn out. It's a simple story and Marcello writes it perfectly. The story is about Paige Plant, named after Led Zeppelin. Her father taught her music starting with piano and acoustic guitar. After breaking up with her boyfriend is approached by John, who becomes her mentor. He believes in her and her music. He offers her the opportunity to record an album at his place. She would have her own room, no rent, a stipend and a chance to become one with her music. Paige accepts. Soon she's recording her first song. John is an inspiration. He tells her he destroyed all his own music. Songs 2 and 3 ge... moret done. John introduces her to Ian who she makes love to. Her muse is stagnant. John tells her she could be in love or get her muse back. Not both. Paige chooses her music over love. Read for yourself and see how this tender story evolves.
review 2: American Idol type. She wants the mega fame that comes with being an artist to likes of Hendrix, Morrison, Joplin, Lennon/McCartney, she wants that mythical icon status and she has the drive and talent to go with it. Her break comes when she gets an opportunity to be mentored by John Brusk a former singer/songwriter with a certain amount of fame. He's given her the task to write 12 songs over the course of one year, a new song each month, not only write it, create it, collaborate, and record it, while having the luxury of a recording studio, artists, her own BMW. What can go wrong? John has a secret, he has many secrets, and Paige finds herself caught in the thick of them. Without giving away any more details, as I hate to do spoilers, I really enjoyed this book. It was well written, and hit me several times with twists I didn't see coming. The Big Wide Calm is a pleasant read, it's like a taking a nice long drive with a person who wants to share their adventure with you! I am looking forward to more books by this author! 5 Stars for sure! less
