Book Review of The Art Forger

The Art Forger
reviewed on + 35 more book reviews


Written in the first person, this novel will entertain and inform you about the intricacies of the art world. It is a dark world indeed, and reading this book lessened my appreciation for the masterpieces on display in famous museums throughout the world. I gave it a 4 instead of 5 due to the tone of the protagonist's thoughts-- she seems to have questionable ethics and a whiny victim viewpoint in romance and business dealings that I did not like. I found this tone and attitude versus her supposed degree of talent and expertise quite incompatible in today's world. However, that's a personal bias that did not keep me from thoroughly enjoying the book for its informational and entertainment value. A worthwhile read!
