I'm struggling with this one.....the intro has not really grabbed my attention and honestly, I just don't care although the premise so far, photographing funerary art for insurance purposes due to theft, is interesting but.....ho-hum. SO WHAT?!

It used to be I ALWAYS finished a book if I started it. As I have gotten older I have learned that some books just aren't worth wasting your time on. I hate to say it but this book fell into that catagory for me. I couldn't finish it. So I have to give it a one star review, I just didn't like it.
Incredibly atmospheric, but very little ever happens and what little does is not explained.
