Art theft is at the heart of this novel and it's an intriguing story of a young boy. A boy who loses first his dad to abandonment and then his mom to a violent attack.
As we follow his story, I couldn't help but feel his pain, though his life bears no resemblance to anything I have ever experienced. This boy's life is thrown upside down and he makes many bad decisions because of this, with the help of some sketchy people around him.
His absorption with a painting he has stolen, even through th

...

e traumatic situations he finds himself in the middle of, seems like too much until I saw the need for both the distraction and also the connection he feels to this priceless work of art.
There is danger involved, of course, but also friendship and finally an understanding of life. Or at least as much as can be had for anybody.

Listened to the audio. Oh my, I totally forgot to mark this finished! Overall I enjoyed this one. It's a coming of age story of sorts, as we follow Theo from the death of his mother until he's an adult. At times I thought it was a bit slow, but characters were being developed in depth so I get it. I'd be interested in discussing details with anyone that's read it, but I don't think this one is one I'll go around raving about to people. It was good!

DNF - A lot of hoopla surrounding this book and thought I better read it before I see the movie. A friend of mine had read it and mentioned she really enjoyed it...until the end. So I expected to feel similar. Nope. I felt like there was so much description that it hindered the forward motion of the book. Maybe at another time in my life I would have enjoyed it more but I just felt that I would have enjoyed it more if it wasn't so observant and was more participative.
