Re: Use of songs in a novel
It is basically a tribute to Adele and her songs, so I am really amazed at how they made all the songs fit the story (or perhaps, the story fit the songs). (I am also concerned about possible copyright trouble.)

The songs are merely decorations for Adele fans. One can remove the songs, and the novel will still be the same.katiesquilts wrote:I agree with you two. If it's a tune I know, I may recognize it by the chorus lines. However, I'm not that big of an Adele fan and I don't like to listen to music while I read because it's very distracting to me, so I would never go out of my way to put the music on.CatInTheHat wrote:Same here, I just skipped those pages. I do like well placed quotes in novels as well.gali wrote:I was bored by the songs and skipped them. I didn't read a novel involving songs, but I have read novels involving quotes which I liked.
