There are a lot of references to music terminology and the story is highly religious in tone. I wasn't completely put off by that but the story is often maudlin and did drag in a lot of places. I have no idea how much of this story is fact and how much is fiction.
I guess overall, I liked some aspects of the story and learned something of how Bach made his living as a composer. On the other hand, I really didn't connect with other aspects of the writing and was glad to finish the book.
