About this audiobook
Edward's music fills Anna's apartment with beautiful sounds that disturb her concentration and her lines of communication with ghosts. She and Edward fall for each other fast, but Anna is conflicted: By exposing her true identity, does she risk losing what may be her true love? And is music really his true love?
Then a ghost begins to interfere-Mozart's ghost-and while making a pest of himself to Anna, he begins to play matchmaker, with unpredictable results....
From the Compact Disc edition.

Reviews for Mozart's Ghost

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a diffcult review to write. While I have a number of LT friends who have read and enjoyed this book, I couldn't fully "get into it."This story follows a young woman who happens to be a medium, a young man who is training for a paino competition, and Mozart's Ghost, who is rude, cranky, and has no concept of personal space.The story it's self is enjoyable, but the writting style kept me from fully enjoying it. To me it felt like listening to a story my grandfather was telling. He'd start with one story, that reminded him of something else, that would remind him of something else, and eventually he would get around to finishing all of them.This is how I felt Cameron's writting to be. She seemed to jump from one point of view to another, and the chapters where so short, it made the jump seem abrupt. I will probably try one more book by her, just to see if her writting improves, or her style grows on me. Any suggestions of what else to read by her would be welcomed.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A delightful tale of a young Anna who moves from Kalamazoo Michigan to New York city where by day she is a teacher and by night a medium who is a conduit between those who have passed and those loved ones left behind seeking communication.When a classical pianist moves into her building, she is at first bothered by both the music and the musician until the spirit of Mozart nags and encourages her to develop a relationship with him.This is a quick, sunny read without a complicated plot. The writing was good enough to hold my attention and while it won't be one of the favorites of 2009, I can recommend it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book was better than I thought it would be. Normally this type of novel wouldn't interest me but I came across it via an online book club to which I had subscribed. The plot moved smoothly and character development and dialog were handled with skill. I'd recommend this book.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5She will be remembered for her excellent "The Artist's Way" more than for this effort.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This novel sounded fascinating; the main character could talk to ghosts, and one of them was The Mozart....what's not to love? So I grabbed the audiobook, and started listening.
Soon enough, I saw my mistake. This medium is supposed to be in her 30's, but she acts like a freaking child, and is angry ALL the time. She's whiny, and usually throwing fits about issues that normal adults usually ignore or get over. I wish she wouldn't agonize so much about being "normal", and enjoy her gift...! So much self pity, it's unreal. And this aversion to classical music? Wtf, seriously....? I'd love it. And, I find it very relaxing. It's odd that this woman cannot, for me.
The novel is full of clichés, like "the phone shrilled", every chapter. It's very predictable, simple, and chock full of characters that were obviously written in to further the very weak plot lines. The letters Edward, the pianist wrote, were simple to the point of sounding like a ten year old wrote them.
Also, the story fell well short of its potential. It's a real stinker. Cranky seems to be the new trend in light writing, and it's weird..... Who can possibly care for or love someone who is SO grumpy, all the time? She annoyed the hell out of me.
Whatever the author was going for, I just couldn't feel it. To make matters worse, the narrator, Kirsten Potter, sounded snide, or condescending most the time. Her accents were seriously atrocious...!! Her Russian was stereotypical, and her Mozart was abysmal. All others sounded the same.
I couldn't manage to get past the 20th chapter, and gladly gave up. Who can possibly have this much time to waste on something that annoys you SO much...? I don't. Ugh...!
1 star.
