Book Review: Less a Novel by Andrew Sean Greer

This is a book that was given to me by a friend. She thought it would be a good read. The book is about a man named Arthur Less, a writer, who will soon turn 50 years old. He looks back on this life as he anxiously awaits the new reality of turning middle age

Though the character's reflection on his life has been interesting, comical, and adventurously hopeful. I liked how Arthur Less seems to run away from his shortcomings in relationships and in his own writing career. He travels to a few countries as part of his book tour; encountering a few awkward interactions with locals. In the end, as he travels to these countries, he really never forgets why he "flees" home.

He realizes that he never can forget things as they follow you in memory and thought.

Book Review: The Art Forger by B.A. Shapiro

  A brief assessment after reading this novel, not surprised, predictable in the world of art industry where one so much as wants to be accomplished and successful as a reputable artist , and end up not making a dent in this competitive field. I'm not surprised, but it was worth a read and being drawn into this world of art collection , and get a glimpse of their dealings. It was a smart and engaging book, wish I had more time to really get lost in this novel. It ended too soon. Hope to read the next book from B.A. Shapiro .
