Review of The Miseducation of Josh Frank

A very personal interview of her brother who is trying to get into Julliard. It shows how certain youthful endavours just fade away when focus on something happens. In this case, how her brother's focus on his music became more improtant than his friends, family, and other things in his life. It gives a good perspective on how someone can gain a great focus on something while letting things they believe don't matter fall by the wayside.

Review of The Miseducation of Josh Frank

"The Miseducation of Josh Frank ," is a great insight into the artistic process--the hard work involved and the sacrifices made.

The writing is clean and conversational and and the organic use of music is great. This story also peripherally addresses the universal teenage experience.

This could work in many contexts: sibling relationships, being a musician, teenage living. Also consider using this if you happen to have a ten minute gap somewhere because it's a good, strong story.
