Query: Cellist rates novel

I found the story to be overly simplistic.The characters were disappointing stereotypes.The musical descriptions and situations were pretentious at times and nonsensical at others.As a cellist I found it comical.(Strangely enough, I read this book while on call for jury duty!)I also was surprised to learn that the author is supposed to be a cellist himself.It doesn't show in his musical writing.If you enjoy Grisham-like screenplays, you may enjoy this.I'm tired of it.
