The Best!!
This book is amazing! I am not a soprano, so I have found it quite difficult to sing, but enjoyable to play. The vocals line of any piece can be upped an octave and played beautifully on the flute. This is a must have for every musically inclined Grobanite.

WONDERFUL!
This book is wonderful...i mean, its Josh Groban! The music is awesome and i've had the book for about 3 months now and everytime i play it the songs never stop being really fun to play. When i got the book i was really excited because it included "Mi Morena" and "She's Out of My Life" which his special edition CD only includes. The pictures in the front are beautiful too. I recommend this book to any JG fan!

Beautiful...
I really like Josh Groban's music, and his "Closer" CD is his best yet in my opinion, so naturally I wanted this music book. The arrangements are just hard enough to enjoy learning, and they are arranged almost perfectly. The only reason I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the way some of the songs are arranged. The book is arranged for a singer, so the piano portion is just accompaniment. I'm not a singer, I just love to play, so this was a slight disappointment to me. I still LOVE the book, though, and I wouldn't let this deter you from adding this book to your collection - it's still well worth it.

Groban-Amazing Voice-Great Music
This book, like the first one, is awesome! The songs are absolutely beautiful, but they take a while to master. This is for people who love romantic music and, of course, Groban fans! Most of the songs are just the accompanyment to his voice (esp. Caruso) but still sounds awesome. All in all, this book is GREAT and if you don't have the first one, consider it! -->Try It!: play along with the CD, it's quite empowering.

Amazing!
I loved this book from the moment I played the first note. And just when I thought I had learned the best song in it I turn the page and am wowed again! The music is beautiful with such depth and feeling that it sucked me right in. It is easy enough to play and make it sound good but hard enough to challenge your skills in places. You will not regret this purchase.

Positively Brilliant
I loved the album the instant I heard it, and to have the sheet music so I can play what I love is wonderful. I recommend this to anyone--Josh Groban fan or not--the music is outstanding and perfect for playing anytime, anywhere, for anyone. You won't be disappointed!

Fabulous!
Josh Groban's album Closer was beyond wonderful, and getting this item is a way to get closer to the music. Ths songs aren't really that difficult at all, and most of the piano parts are very good, especially the one for Remember When it Rained. This is a MUST for any JOsh fan...whenter you play an instrument or not. Oh yes, and the first couple pages give the translations for all of the songs in foreign languages!

Wow!
This music is packed with power, sensitivity, emotion. The songs are thought prevoking. If you're a singer and are looking to add beautiful music to your library - don't let this one go by.
