Wow, just wow. I'm grinning from ear to ear right now and regretting that I don't currently have access to the first three novels of the series because I want to reread every single word now. Of course, I can't regret spreading the joy that is the Audio Distortion series. Near the end of All About The Music, there is a line that I completely agree with about music. You'll know it when you read it, since I don't want to give any spoilers you can find it for yourself. And once again, I find myself wishing this series came with a soundtrack, although since I can easily picture this series being turned into a movie, whose to say that it won't eventually get one? L.

So at this point I am getting bored with Audio Distortion and their antics. Even though they are now approximately my age, they are still acting very juvenile, and I think I'm just too old to find it entertaining anymore. My annoyance should not be a reflection on the writing though, because the style is consistent through the series, and n All About the Music the chapters are even headed with the name of the character in whose head we will be for the chapter, so I appreciated that. I think this book would still appeal to a younger audience though.

I want to apologize to the author. I had received an ARC of this and then complete forgot to put up my review. It's a bit late. I don't know what happened in my brain.
I do wish I would have read the rest in the series. I may have been able to connect to the characters more. If I had more history and stuff.
For some reason I was just not that into it, like I see in other peoples reviews. It's not bad. It's well written and there are funny moments and thats great. I just wasn't feeling it most of the time.
