5.0 out of 5 stars Supernatural page turner, Dec 10 1999
By Anna Peak (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
"Fingers" is not quite like Sleator's other books; the plot hinges on the supernatural rather than on a science fiction mechanism of some sort. The music that the main character, Sam, forges is unaccountably known about by a mysterious old man. Further, this music has the power to make Humphrey play with skill and feeling, two things his piano playing usually lacks to an appalling degree. As always, Sleator is concerned not simply with weird situations but with human beings and their emotions, and running thoughout the book is Sam's resentment towards his brother and simultaneous concern for him; Humphrey is being turned into a rotten human being as a result of being used mercilessly by his parents. The resolution satisfyingly resolves the relationship of the two brothers as well as giving the identity of the mysterious old man and the source of the music and its power.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fingers is one of Sleator's best., Jan 27 1998
By A Customer
I was saddened to see that "Fingers" is out of print. I have enjoyed Sleator's books as a young adult and still enjoy them over a decade later. Usually, Sleator's works are populated with interesting, well-delfined characters who make a somewhat unoriginal plot seem fresh. "Fingers" is the exception to that: the plot is constantly interesting, never bordering on cliche; the characters are fully-fleshed and utterly believable; and the pacing is tight, making a non-stop thrill ride of a supernatural mystery.
