The Man Who Loved Books Too Much: The True Story of a Thief, a Detective, and a World of Literary Obsession by Allison Hoover Bartlett

2.0

I cannot recommend this book. The writing was dull and overly narrative and the main character had absolutely no redeeming characteristics...he is not even an interesting thief. Sadly, in the end, we are left feeling badly for rare book sellers who must still contend with a middle-aged narcissist who cannot comprehend why he should not own everything he wants, even if it means that he steals it from others.
