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.
