book started off brilliantly and I became totally engaged with the characters and storyline
Was the story good?
Two reasons that I bought this book:1. I am passionate about art and thoroughly enjoy novels with art as a theme2. This book was marketed as Kindle no1 best seller, but I think marketing has more to do with its success than the actual merits of the bookThe book started off brilliantly and I became totally engaged with the characters and storyline.  Her style of writing is very descriptive and interesting going into the psychology of things,  but I don't that I would recommend this to my husband to read as this style may be more appealing to a woman's perspective..I will not repeat much of what is said in the many  other reviews, but I agree with others that the lengthy book loses momentum towards the end and I was left feeling dissatisfied by the ending.The ending seemed to have been added on as an after thought -almost felt like it had been written by someone else.It was rather a rambling anti-climax and I was left feeling disappointed int he book after having thoroughly enjoyed a large part of the rest of it.  Due to my mixed feelings this book will only receive a solid 3.
