The Sound of Munich

by Suzanne Nelson

Book Overview

Siena Bernstein is leaving her yoga mat behind for a semester of study abroad in Munich.

Customer Reviews

Sehr gut! (Very good!)

This book is the best of the S.A.S.S. series. In this book, readers will enjoy Siena's eccentric personality, along with her love of astrology and "flakiness." She is a great protagonist and this book depicts Germany very well. If you take German, be sure to read this book - you'll really enjoy it! Have a great read!

What a treat!

I enjoyed this book so much. It was my treat for the day for as long as I could stretch it out. It is the perfect read after a long, tiresome day. Nothing like a good book and a hot bath (preferably together!)to make you feel good. Suzanne Nelson is a very talented writer with a wonderful gift for humour and insight.

best of SASS

I thought this was the best SASS book so far. I like these books, but almost all the storylines are too similar-- that is, you go to this foreign country shallow and naive, and then you come back totally changed and totally better, plus, you get a hot guy and a bright future. There is more depth to this book. Siena is half-German, and wants to find that someone who had helped smuggle her dad across the Berlin Wall. This gives it an interesting twist, as you learn a part of Germany's past through Siena's eyes, seeing it more personally. Don't worry, she DID get a hot German guy, in case you're worrying.

A 14 Year Old's Review

The Sound of Munich was by far the best book I have read in a looong time. It was the perfect mix of fun, free-spirited, and fantastic! Romance, humor, and characters you can personally relate to were all blened together into a perfect mix. If this book was a cake... all I could say is... YUM!!

Carpe Dieme!

A very fun read especially for young women. It had me interested from beginning to end. All of the characters were unique and interesting and the story line couldn't be beat!
