I just have finished the ending of the book The Soloist and boy am I surprised! First of all on my last post about The Soloist I was near the end of the book. But suddenly after I made my post I found out that Nathaniel Ayers "the main character" suddenly had an outbreak of anger on Mr Lopez. Which lead both of them into a physical altercation that took me by surprise!
It all started when Steve Lopez gave Nathaniel this brand new apartment at this facility for the mentally ill. Then Nathaniel has one of his schizophrenic episodes that got him angry towards Mr. Lopez. Now at first that was extremely confusing to me, because both Nathaniel and Steve Lopez know that Steve Lopez does everything for Nathaniel. So for Nathaniel to get mad seems kind of strange, because I thought that they both had this "special bond" through music. Then It suddenly resolves with Steve Lopez getting angry and trying to pull himself out of this terrible situation "meaning leaving Nathaniel."
Now that Nathaniel is all by himself he goes out of his way to personally make an apology.* Note* which I have found out that getting a schizophrenic man to apologize for there previous actions is very rare. Then I kept on thinking how is this going to plan out, because of all the things Steve has done to cut off Nathaniel. But Steve apologizes for everything and tells Nathaniel that nothing should ever get between us.
The Soloist ended up shocking me and it made me realize that life has plenty of twistes and turns, and it's your job to stay on top of it! Also to get back on more of the moral of The Soloist. You have to always help people that need help by providing support and happiness to other peoples life. So of course I am going to say that I loved this book "mainly because of it's plot", but what really made me love it is that The Soloist not only covers two characters. The Soloist covers what life and friendship should be.

Can the soloist by Steve Lopez take a bow?
The Soloist by Steve Lopez creates love and friendship through music. Steve Lopez talks about his actual friendship with a homeless paranoid schizophrenic man who happens to have a huge gift with music. He creates a friendship that eventually helps this man Nathaniel Anthony Ayers find a home and get his life back on track.
The soloist redefines the word friendship, by showing you why saving ones life from destruction can really make you feel a thousand times richer. It also shows that one reporter Steve Lopez who stumbled on a homeless Julliard graduate fond not only a story to write about. But something to Cherish for the rest of his life........... A best friend. What you can also notice through out the book is that music is what makes there friendship so unique and powerful. Lastly Nathaniel Has never been cured from his schizophrenia which makes talking or interacting with him hard and unpredictable. The soloist talks about music, friendship, and a way to help.
Yes of course The Soloist takes a bow Steve Lopez accurately states the disease of schizophrenia and how in Nathaniel's case it can be cured. He also lets the reader really follow up with Nathaniel's life by doing a weekly column on Nathaniel and other stories that he finds out about. Also this story seems like it was made from a fairytale you can't believe the amount of courage that it took Steve Lopez to get a once crazy Nathaniel to safety. He also includes that most mentally ill people have an unusual sense of when someone is disrespecting them, and Steve talks about all the hurtles he went through with Nathaniel.
The love and friendship that is created in the soloist is absolutely a profound experience to read and I highly recommend it to any reader! The Soloist also incorporates a lot of things that you can do to help the mentally ill. For example by just giving your time to locations that help serve and help the mentally ill and unstable. The Soloist is a book that everyone should read it is the perfect book for friendship, music, and the miracles story of one man who lost his way.
