Summary: Piano Man
Review: I thought the book was very good. The characters were very realistic to me and real made me think. Towards the middle of the book I had to stop and read a paragraph over and over just to get the true meaning of the paragraph. I really think other people should pick up this book and read it. I also think that you will really like this book and can really relate to the book in many ways.

Summary: The Piano Man-Growing Pains
Review: The Piano Man- Growing Pains

The world is changed forever." When growing up, minor things seem to make a major difference in life. In Joyce Sweeney's Piano Man, the novel shows how hard it is dealing with romance and life. Because the story unfolds through the eyes of a teenager, the novel is very easy to read and to understand. The novel is well worth taking the time to read.
The novel is about a teenage girl whose life long goal is to become a professional chef. In the story, she is the protagonist (main character) and the antagonist (against the protagonist) all at the same time. She harder on herself more than anyone else. She also deals with her new found crush on an older guy. While dealing with all her struggles, she still faces the problems of her high school, family, friends, and love.
Sweeney uses the setting to help the reader feel like they are a part of the story. Most of the story develops in "Junior High School." Most of the day is spent at school when growing up. As a result, that is where most friends are made and where conflicts happen.
The characters are very complex, like that of a young adult. Once a character seems to be totally revealed, Sweeney adds a twist to the story. By using this technique, the reader can never get bored with the novel.
The style is very easy to understand without needing a dictionary. Like today's youngster, the word choice is very current. The story is casual and informal.
The story reveals itself in chronological order. It is told through daily events as if it were happening now. Foreshadowing is used to keep the reader guessing about what will happen next. Joyce Sweeney uses a variety of literary techniques to keep the reader fascinated.
Overall, The Piano Man is well worth taking time to read. The story is easy to relate to and to understand. Keep in mind that a good book is never as simple as it seems. Take a closer look!
