"A film that absolutely nails the experience of really wanting to perform – that feeling that you’re weird to do so when you’re not being encouraged – and of music being a brilliant form of escape. Even though I’m not working-class, the story described a world and an attitude to women I knew well. It’s also about finding your identity through music, how you can find your own voice through singing other people’s songs. I used to do that myself as a child, trying to become Tina Turner by singing Private Dancer!"

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Percy Jackson and the Singer of Apollo in Books

Jan 11, 2021

I bought this for my nieces to read on their joint Kindle to see if they liked the series and I thought I'd give it a go myself. I did read the first book in this series several years ago and enjoyed it but it isn't totally to my taste so I never went any further with it.

It was quick and rather fun. Percy is tasked with fetching one of Apollo's backing singers back from her escape to New York City where she's hoping to go solo.
