My favorite part of this chunk has got to be when Nathanial and Mr. Lopez go to Disney hall for the rehearsal. That part was entrancing, the imagery that Lopez uses in this part really allows me to "See" whats going on.
"The massive pipe organ looks like a Disney-inspired explosion of sound, with six thousand flutes of Norwegian pine and Douglas fir teetering over the stage. The bowl itself is more intimate than the flamboyant exterior would suggest, and it feels like we're in the belly of a violin or cello, with two thousand seats clinging to the sides of the sound box." (115).
This excerpt is amazing: it really lets me in on their first reaction to entering the hall. The honesty of how it feels, and that it doesn't sound like Lopez is trying to embellish his thoughts with unnecessary additions to the description. I'm really enjoying the book as I go along.
There isn't anything in particular that I'd like you to comment on.
