Book Reviews of Mozart: A Life (Penguin Lives Biographies)

Book Review: 17 year old nephew thinks it's great
Summary: 4 Stars

I purchased this as a Christmas stocking stuffer for my 17 year old nephew. He's a musician and composer. He told me that the book is quite fascinating and has made him want to read a full-length biography of Mozart. As an avid reader myself, that tells me that the Penguin edition must be quite good if it encourages the reader to explore the subject further.
