Commentary Supposing Books A Voice in the Distance (Flynn Laukonen #2)
In his final year at the Royal College of Music, star pianist Flynn Laukonen has the world at his feet. He has moved in with his girlfriend Jennah and is already getting concert bookings for what promises to be a glittering career. Yet he knows he is skating on thin ice - only two small pills a day keep him from plunging back into the whirlpool of manic depression that once threatened to destroy him. Unexpectedly his friends seem to be getting annoyed with him for no apparent reason, he needs less and less sleep, he is filled with unbridled energy. Events begin to spiral out of control and Flynn suddenly finds himself in hospital, heavily sedated, carnage left behind him. The medication isn't working any more, the dose needs to be increased, and depression strikes again, this time with horrific consequences. His freedom is snatched away and the medicine's side-effects threaten to jeopardize his chances in one of the biggest piano competitions of his life. It seems like he has to make a choice between the medication and his career. But in all this he has forgotten the one person he would give his life for, and Flynn suddenly finds himself facing the biggest sacrifice of all.Identify Books During A Voice in the Distance (Flynn Laukonen #2)

Isn't it awful when you pick up a sequel without knowing it? Isn't it one of the most frustrating things a reader can be put through?Well, the misfortune fell upon me when I picked up A Voice in the Distance. After the first few pages, I felt like I wasn't being told enough, as if I had missed a whole bunch of pages at the start. And then my suspicion arose, and I checked the bookjacket a bit more carefully than I had in the library, and realised this was a sequel. Ugh. But I had already started..... Im dead.Well, nothing like good ole emotional suffering late at night. Im fine........ Totally fine.
It was quite a good book to immerge yourself in the world of the bipolar, but I hated the ending, too romantic to be true after all this..
I read A Note of Madness a little while ago and absolutely loved it. Flynn is a great character, and the story of his struggles with mental health is just fantastic. There can never be too much awareness, especially in boys/men.This book was even more... emotional for me. I don't want to go into too much detail, but Flynn really reminds me of my boyfriend. The ending of this novel - while fantastic and honest - was not very comforting at all.Jennah and Flynn started dating after the first book,
Ummm. WOW! Tabitha does it again! OMG. She always makes me cry!"My Lovely Jennah, my beautiful Jennah. Your happiness means everything to me. I will listen for your voice in the distance. I will look at the moon. I will keep you in my pocket. I will carry your smile with me everywhere, like a warm and comforting glow."Incredible book. I reccommend this to anyone looking for a beautiful heartfelt story. Lovely read...full of saddness, happiness, laughter, joy, hope and pain! A rollercoaster of
I enjoyed reading this book as it was quite effective and very realistic. Flynn has bipolar disorder and this is what the book is based around - showing Flynn's actions, decisions and the impact that it has upon his family and friends - especially with his girlfriend, Jennah. I think the two prominent aspects of Bipolar Disorder (manic and depressive episodes) were portrayed well. The story was authentic and the struggles both Flynn and Jennah faced felt genuine. It didn't feel as though things
After reading Tabitha Suzumas A Note of Madness I couldnt resist reading the sequel A Voice in the Distance. I read a few pages a couple of days back and yesterday I finished the whole book. It is not often that I read a whole book in a day. Here is what I think.A Voice in the Distance continues the story of A Note of Madness. Flynn, who is diagnosed with bipolar disorder, manages to stay normal by medication and periodic medical checkups. Jennah and Flynn now live together and are very much in
