karenstory 's review for:
The Art Thief
by Noah Charney
The author is a professor of art history and an expert in fine art forgery and theft. He also is described in the publicity material as the founding director of an international think tank on art crime with a board of trustees that “includes the respective art squad heads of the FBI, Carabinieri, and Scotland Yard, as well as renowned museum, art world, and criminology specialists.”
Considering this resume, you would think we would be in for quite the mystery ride. But to be honest it was painful, so much so, I had to skip read, and even that was boring. Okay, get mad at me for skip reading – but, seriously, I tried to like this novel – I wanted to like it, but, I couldn’t even drag myself through it.
The plot, the characters, the narrative, and the ending (yes, I needed to find out what if anything was resolved) were horrid. Entirely unsatisfying. But, I am just one reader. What did you think?
