The Art Thief by Michael Finkel

5.0

Similar to 'the art thief' i am also obsessed with a piece of art and it is this book. This book has made me realize that nonfiction doesn't have to be long, tedious, and boring. It can be concise and make you emotionally invested in the story. I also loved the author's note at the end mentioning how he interviewed Breitweiser and several other people important to the story, it made it feel more genuine and accurate.

this book really expresses the teenage horror of not wanting to seem 'cringe'.  

such an interesting read, i went in thinking it was a thriller for some reason so i was slightly dissappointed when i realized it was more literary. clark did such a good job at writing these characters, and describing the internet hell hole of tumblr and true crime. it felt like i was diving deeper and deeper into a rabbit hole, slowly descending through the iceberg of serial killer fanfic, creepypasta, and disturbing sims mods(??). truly horrifying, incredible.

read this in one sitting, it felt so short. it think she's gonna end up with kile which is a shame because i like erik and also because that's an unfortunate name.
