The Painter of Battles: A Novel Audiobook

" One of his best...love and morality intepreted by art. Extremely moving. "

" This was a different kind of story, not one I think I'd recommend... "

" Well-written but a disappointing ending spoils the tension. "

" Very provocative and compelling writing, but the plot is not as involving as some of his other books. Examines the connection between human nature, violence, and war as it is filtered through art. Asks whether war journalism is mere voyeurism. "

" Perez-Reverte, for all his pulpy excesses, nearly always comes through with a great central character and an intriguing milieu for his stories. In this case he misses that mark, with a who'd-ever-believe-it tale of a retired combat photographer being stalked by a mad Croat soldier, the subject of one of his award-winning photos. Puh-leaze. "

" Obviously I did not read or listen to this book in Spanish. This is the only option I could bring up. "

" Not a terribly long book, but one requiring the reader's full attention to appreciate all the nuances. Very moving. Possibly Perez-Reverte's best book to date. "

" Gorgeous. The details are somehow written in a dauntingly expansive way, yet are still fascinating. "

" A haunting novel that deals with war, echoes of love and the depth of human cruelty. "

" I found this book sublime... the way it's written, the story, the characters, everything. I recommend it specially to photographers, painters and artists of any kind. "

" "empece a comprendelo anoche, cuando me abrazabas como si estuvieramos a punto de morir..." "

" Di sicuro lo devo rileggere : certe parti sono bellissime, altre le ho trovate noiose e tirate via. E' un libro che mi ha lascita perplessa; in realta' non so bene come giudicarlo. L'ho rileggero' . Tre stelle come valore medio "

" Read this book first in Spanish, then recently in the English translation. Beautiful prose -- sometimes grisly subject. Will make you stop and think. "
