One of the challenges of reviewing for Amazon Vine is that the title selected sometimes arrives as a review proof, which often lacks the hard cover, dust jacket and in this case, the music CD that is such an integral part of the Brown experience. I've always felt that part of the experience of books is tactile sorry, kindle , so I ordered my own copy of this books to replace the flimsy paperback sent for review. I'm so glad I did. After reading the book and enjoying it thoroughly, it was a wondrous finale to hear the five young Browns playing in concert, and also hear their amusing and unaffected commentary between selections.
The books is a collection of personal essays from each of the five siblings about their childhoods, relationships, school experiences and the grueling pressure of practice, qualification and performance. They emerge as a very likable bunch who share a rare bond in this day and age. The essays gain intensity as the book progresses. Stories about sledding and other lighthearted childhood episodes give way to dealing with the harsh realities of city living and very adult problems with friends and acquaintances. Things build to a dramatic peak with essays about being in New York during the Twin Towers tragedy.
When you finish, you really feel you know these people, and listening to their music in the attached CD really brings it all together. Reading and listening with The 5 Browns is an enriching experience in a good many ways. Having just attended a concert by the 5 Browns, I was eager to read more about them. In this book each of the siblings takes turns writing a short essay about their childhood, their life at Juilliard, or experiences that they've had while touring the world and playing classical music on 5 Steinway pianos.
This is not a chronological account of their lives, but it does give some insight into what makes them "tick", how they relate to one another, and what their goals are in life. The boys' essays are more humorous than the girls, particularly Gregory, who has an interesting way of turning a phrase and bringing humor into the supposedly serious work of being a classical pianist. The 5 Browns are very close to one another and to their parents, and they take their Mormon faith seriously.
One of their more charming traits is that they don't take themselves too seriously.
