The Art Thief: A Novel Audiobook

" engaging story, but the wrap-up was bewildering. "

" I found this book sort of disjointed and confusing. It switched story lines and and characters each chapter or sometimes within each chapter. They all come together at the end, but I stayed up late to read it and was tired as a result. I just couldn't follow the twisting plot. I'm still not sure who ended up with which painting. "

" the book was "meh", by the end I didn't really care who'd done it. "

" Books about art seem to be in vogue, and this one was better than average. It is about a complicated caper involving several different scenarios. At times it was a little hard to follow all of the various characters and locations, but I did enjoy the clever plot. "

" I especially appreciated all the background information about arts, art history and art forgery. I found it very helpful in understanding the fascinating world of painting. "

" Troppi investigatori per questo libro. Si salva la parte artistica, ma la trama non regge. "

" confusing. Loved the art history parts of the book. "

" Givin' it a chance. I bought it for $2 at the ARC, so I might as well. So far... ? "

" One of the worst books I have ever read. "

" I had trouble keeping everyone straight. It was clever. "

" Typically i like these books, but it really didn't keep my attention "

" This is a good read with an intriguing plot. Along the way you learn about art forgery and how art is authenticated. "

" A fun read--that's about it. "

" This was a great read, especially for someone with an art history background. "

" A little confusing trying to keep track of everything. I liked the description of the paintings. "

" I'm not sure how I would have wanted it to end, but I don't think that was it... a little too neat and contrived for me. I liked the first 75% of the book more. "

" A fun and interesting book. The last wrap up chapter was a little quick. "

" loved the art history but story was hard to follow, ultimately unsatisfying "

" This book was terrible. I only finished because I didn't have anything else to read. "

" Terrible. Hard to follow, fragmented, confusing, no sense of suspense. "

" i loved this wonderful pageturner of a novel in which Noah Charney puts his knowlegde of the world of arttheft, falsifications and if you think you know what the real painting or the forgery is : look again "

" Lots of good information about the art world and how art thieves work -- but a pretty weak, almost silly, plot. "

" A quick review: Fun and interesting plot, but some of the characters where quite flat and over the top. "

" fabulous, twisty-turny, along lines of Thom crown Affair "

" Art World mystery Was ok and i did glean a few facts from it dispite the insipid narrative. "

" learned a lot about art especially paintings already and like the humor shown so far by the characters. <br/> <br/>book kept me guessing all the way through and was very informative a bout paintings, different artists as well as the different aspects of painting itself. "

" listened to this on CDs; excellent accents but story was confusing, stopped listening but tried to finish the actual book - never did figure out who did what. "

" A clever novel, fast paced, well written, some good insights into visual art a good ending. Some intense descriptions of dark places, that works well. But not a great read. "

" Changing it up from Vampires and Virals to Caravaggios.... "

" the book was &quot;meh&quot;, by the end I didn't really care who'd done it. "

" Obviously not smart enough for this book. I never really got to like any of the characters, am pretty confused by the ending, and too irritated at the foul language to backtrack and try to figure out what the heck happened. Apparently I'm just not hip and edgy enough for this one. "

" Terrible book. I just wanted it to end so I could stop reading it. The only surprise or intrigue in this book was that I actually finished it. "

" complicated art thefts end up being connected - difficult to follow as mystery. "

" I loved all the bits of art lessons in this book. I wish I had had an instructor in college just like Professor Borrows. <br/>I hope to see more from this writer! "
