"The write-up for the book is much more interesting than the book itself, which ends up being about a man having a midlife crisis in the art world. Meh"

"This is the second book (that I’m aware of) That I have read form this author. The first was “Saving Grace”. For about 2/3 of the book. (Maybe more) I did not like Royce. He gave me so many ICKs. (Sorry for using that term but I don’t know how else to describe it.) The author also repeated phrases a LOT. It’s 1am so maybe I’ll add a quote later, I’m just to tired to relook through the book right now. Over all the book was okay, wouldn’t be a top recommendation. In the beginning I could not immerse in the story. The characters were also very irritable and hard to like. It got more tolerable the further into the story you read. "
