Reviews
A Beautiful Noise by Sam Collins is hugely entertaining, moving, quirky, thought-provoking and funny. Dry British humour peppers the story line of each character, all of whom one builds a strong connection and affinity with as the story beautifully unfolds. The book draws on how we all have a story to tell, and through observation we can relish in the idiosyncracies that makes us human. The author ignites the opportunity to reflect and reassess the difference between hearing and listening, and to observe that there is always an alternate entry point in building meaningful relationships and understanding. A wonderfully entertaining read!
