Ted Mooney (1) (1951–2022)

Decent thriller set in Paris (part of its appeal) with strange, worldly characters. It will become a movie! See Malcolm Love's review below for a good analysis.

"An attempt at a literary thriller. My take - too much self-absorption, too little thriller. Don't waste your time, unless you're interest to learn how the world's best scams are conducted in the art market."

A suspenceful and smooth read that slowly builds into a page turner. Tries to answer the question, "Can you really start over"?

My husband told me about this book. He said he had started reading it when he was 16, but after the first chapter he couldn't finish it. Out of curiosity, we ordered it from Amazon and I started reading it. It's uneven. There's some nice writing, but mostly it's just...weird. The dolphin sex thing makes it hard to take seriously. I've only been able to get halfway through it, since it can't really hold my attention.
