Film soundtracks, or more precisely, film scores, are often the perfect choice for reading a good book to. For those commuting on bustling public transport, having a good soundtrack to block out the conversations around you can really help with reading. Soundtracks can also be a fitting accompaniment to reading, emphasising the mood and atmosphere of a book.

Here DLS Reviews dissects such soundtracks, predominantly from the position of an accompaniment to reading a book. All soundtracks have been purchased in CD format (unless stated otherwise).
