Book Reviews of The Rescue Artist: A True Story of Art, Thieves, and the Hunt for a Missing Masterpiece (P.S.)

Book Review: Interesting Topic, but it went on and on
Summary: 2 Stars

At first, I enjoyed the book, but it just dragged on way too long. By the end, I almost didn't care anymore whether they were successful or not. The little side stories were interesting for awhile, but there were way too many of them. I did enjoy the photograph sections of the art work and real people in the story.
