Stealing with Style Audiobook

" It's an interesting idea, and I enjoyed the sidenotes about antiques. If that's a topic that interests you, you will find it an informative read. However, for a mystery read, I didn't find that it had a lot of suspense, and I'm afraid I didn't make it to the end. "

" I liked Sterling's penchant for playing with her magic eight ball from childhood. Wish I still had mine. Her continuing conversations with her dead mother, who had some pretty good saying, were interesting. Some of the antique info was informative. Other than that, the book was a snooze. The whole thing was one big anti-climax. "

" I have rarely met a mystery I didn't enjoy, but this was definitely one. Yuck. I should've liked the book since it was about antiques, which I'm interested in. I just didn't like the protagonist, Sterling Glass, or her friends (except Sol, I did like him). Also, there were lots of descriptions of antiques and I had a hard time visualizing them. Then there was the protagonist's mother, who was dead. frequently,Sterling would quote some poet her mother was fond of. okay one meaningful quote, okay. But filling up your story with someone else's poetry, not good. Then, her mother started giving advise from beyond the grave. This bumped the story from 2 stars to 1. "

" Oh dear. I didn't like this book at all. I thought the writing was rather juvenile and simplistic. The lead character reminded me of a wannabe Nancy Drew, but without Nancy's resourcefulness, wit and sophistication. The only interesting parts were the antique tidbits, but they weren't enough to save this. I won't be reading any more of this series. "

" I learned a few things about antiques, the story was interesting and enjoyable, but not a fabulous mystery. "

" Listened to it on CD. Author's extensive knowledge of antiques added to the enjoyment of the rather light mystery. "

" I enjoyed the characters and the information on antiques. Would definitely read another. "

" 2.5. Definitely Average; not above average enough for 3 stars. "

" Really like this book so far. I'm learning all about antiques and kept entertained. I wish this was a series... oh wait - it IS :) "

" Fun, quick read. I learned a lot about antiques. "

" I really liked Sterling Glass. I look forward to more in the series. "

" I enjoyed the first part of the story, but then it just got kind of boring, tedious, and predictable. Still, it was enjoyable enough. She did natter on a bit too much about the intricacies of art deco figurines, but I liked the other antique info woven into the story. "

" It started slow, but I warmed up to the characters & would read more of the series. Nice to eventually give the ex-reverend some traits other than being good looking. "

" simple and predictable plot, interesting information about antiques, i actually did learn something reading this book. I didn't really engage with the main character. "

" A gentle mystery with lots of antiques lore. "

" Really enjoyed this. A carefree read. A little simple mystery mixed with the past. Antique lovers and experts would probably love it even more b/c it definitely includes lots of "expert" details... "

" The premise of this story is great and I sort of like the main character, but she needs to be a little more forceful. Antiques fascinate me and I admire those who know about them. I like Sterling's mom always giving her advance in her head. "

" Poor premis. Not logical. Average writer. "

" couldn't put it down.....I had to know "

" A mystery having to do with the world of antiques. I enjoyed the protagonist and the quotes from the mother were a good touch. "
