I like Adele's music very much because most of her songs are easy to relate to. It was the major motivator for me to get the book to read. One thing i did that made reading the book more interesting for me was that i have a collection of her songs so anytime any of her lyrics was inserted i went to play the particular track so that i could follow the words to relate it more with the chapter it was used. For me the authors did a great job with the boo and i thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

I have been a fan of Adele ever since she emerged. The book made me realize her lyrics don't just apply to romantic love between a man and a woman, it could carry so many meanings. I am not going to love Adele more because of the book but i think her lyrics were well placed.

I have always liked Adele's music, but I haven't listened to much of it recently. After reading the book, it reminded me that she has some pretty great songs, so I am looking forward to adding some of them to my playlist.

I have never heard Adele's music, or if I have, I didn't know it was her because I kind of live off the grid and am not exposed to much media. But, the fact that she has such a following and writes beautiful lyrics, I am inclined to seek out some of her songs. It would be nice to feel the energy that helped the characters get through their lives.

I had not heard the songs before, I am not a music fan, but maybe at some time search one or two of the songs.

I want to read the book now. I love Adele, her voice is so soulful and her songs ring true. I have cried a tear or two with her songs. I like to heard how artists have inspired or helped other people through problems. Music can be a great tool for healing. It would be amazing to see Adele live.

Yes it did. I have her album 25 and it had been a while since I listened, so when I read the book I decided to listen to the songs while I was reading.

Yes. I'm not a fan, but I really liked the book and after every chapter, I went to check the song out. I loved the way every song's words describe perfectly the feeling of the protagonist. I still don't consider myself her fan, but I really appreciate her songs more.

I have listened to some of Adele's songs,but after going through the book,I noticed,a difference in the way i viewed her music.The truth is,I haven't been paying much attention.If I was,I'll know that her songs,where not just a melody, but a remedy to the aching hearts.

I generally like Adele's music but in this case, I didn't see any similarities between the music and the book.

It is weird to see that some readers would skip over reading the lyrics at the end of each chapter, as they were there specifically to tie into what happened in the chapter. I'm not a huge fan of Adele's music but I do like to listen to it. I didn't know all of the songs, but I did see the correlation of them to each chapter. The book with the lyrics included made we want to listen to her music. I have yet to acquire any songs, but intend to do so, I may purchase the whole CD!

I really can't say it encouraged me to listen to Adele's songs, but it did draw me out of mere curiosity to listen to a couple of her songs. And this was only because I was never an Adele fan, so I had never heard any of her songs and wanted to get a feel for her singing voice. A couple I liked, but not all that I listened to. I think the ones the authors used to relate to the story fit quite well.

In fact, I did enjoy the story a lot. I know that Adele is a good singer even though, I have not heard of her or her music until I read the book. But, I would like to encounter her sweet songs one day.

Nope. I loved the book, but I didn't love Adele before I read it, and I don't have any desire to explore her music. I don't think the Adele angle was that important.
