Why is this happening to me? he asked himself desperately. What is wrong with me? Life as a student should be good for Flynn. He's one of the top pianists at the Royal College of Music, he has been put forward for an opportunity-of-a-lifetime concert, and he's got great friends. But beneath the surface, he's falling apart. On a good day he feels full of energy and life, but on a bad day being alive is worse than being dead. Sometimes he wants to compose and practice all night, at other times he can't get out of bed. With the pressure of the forthcoming concert and the growing concern of his family and friends, emotions come to a head. Sometimes things can only get worse before they get better.Itemize Appertaining To Books A Note of Madness (Flynn Laukonen #1)

Tabitha Suzuma is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors.I didn't realise this was the first of two books, but it reads fine as a standalone novel anyway. I hadn't intended to read on, but I just love Suzuma's writing too much. I've reserved the next novel at the library.I found this quite similar to Hurt in a couple of ways; firstly, the protagonist is a young male who is experiencing something very unpleasant but important to talk about. Instead of rape, as in Hurt, this time the topic3.5 good but not as good as the book forbidden written by the same author. Though I really liked this book and I am eager to read the rest of Tabitha's work!
Have you ever wondered how madness begin? Is it really just a chemical imbalance that a mere prescribed pill can stave off? Since he was four years old, Flynn had always known music is in his future. Some could consider him as a virtuoso - but that's not how he sees himself. His days are a cycle of crippling depression and brilliant music composition. When he was chosen to play at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall, pressure builds to an explosive point as he struggles to keep his insanity away.
A Note of Madness is a gripping look into what it's like to struggle with mental illness, particularly as a creative person. I really sympathized with Flynn, the protagonist, as he deals with the pressure of being a piano prodigy and the ensuing spiral of depression he goes through when he feels like he's not good enough. A lot of things in this book really struck a chord with me (no pun intended ... okay maybe intended a little). I'm not really a musician, but as a writer/artist I understand
He just looked at her and smiled...That is so creepy.But it's funny too actually. I really like Flynn. Though I must say he's not exactly the book-boyfriend type, nonetheless I find him quite adorable especially when he's crying or becomes too shy and ocassionally when he's manic.Ah so this is what it's like to be bipolar.
I read Tabitha Suzumas Forbidden last year. I liked it so much that I wanted to explore other works of hers. Whenever I discover a new writer and like one of her/his works, I try to read the first book of that writer. So I thought I will get Tabitha Suzumas first book, A Note of Madness. I finished reading it yesterday. Here is what I think.A Note of Madness is about a classical music student, Flynn. Flynn discovers one day that his emotional state moves to sudden extremes. One day he feels very
Dear Tabitha, thank you for sending me such a fabulous book!A Note of Madness is a compelling story, very moving, heart-breaking, emotional and a gripping read!For someone who works with young people in education I found this story very helpful and informative on the subject of mental illness.Tabitha loves to chalenge herself with taboo themes. Her style of writing totally draws you in to Flynn's world and makes you really understand how he is feeling. Honestly and beautifully written.Overall:
