I’d describe it as a cross between “Harriet, the Spy” and everything happening in the world tomorrow, or maybe today. I really loved the protagoni" Read more of this review » |

The Art Thief: A True Story of Love, Crime, and a Dangerous Obsession:
"Dear Goodreaders:
Though "The Art Thief" is a short book (just over 200 pages), I worked on the project for more than 11 years, trying to make sure that everything in this wild and unpredictable tale is true - and also, to the best of my abilities, e" Read more of this review » |

“The other night I lost consciousness. When I finally came to, it was morning. I spent the next 8 and a half hours doing things I didn’t really feel like doing, but was compelled to do anyway. (Evidentially I receive something known as “financial Compensation” for this.) Eventually I was allowed to return home, where I recovered from the ordeal. I’m just afraid of what happens tonight, if I lose consciousness again. I have this fear that somehow this will start the process all over again.”
