This was a Christmas present and I haven't heard from the person I gave it to that it was bad, so I assumed they liked it. They requested it. | 5.0 / 5.0

from Prentice Hall
Customer Review:
The book looked alright it did not have any folded edges just the front cover had a crease in it. It arrived faster than I thought it would come. All in all not bad. The book looked good even with the crease. | 4.5 / 5.0

| 4. |  | The Lost Painting
from Random House Trade Paperbacks
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
Now, I loved A Civil Action. But one of the main reasons that that book was so great is because it had terrific villains. The Lost Painting, on the other hand, doesn't have a single antagonist, unless you count time, which I don't.
Also, A Civil Action had a single madcap hero who relented... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
The text of this beautiful and generally excellent book is, as others have noted, outstanding in both its biographical coverage and its critical analysis of Caravaggio's major works--an all too rare combination in this field.

from Random House
Customer Review:
I had high hopes for this book based off the reviews but after getting in about 100 pages I was still waiting for it to get interesting. It's a fairly fast read but I was left wanting more. There's no real mystery to where the story is going; the author tries to add in some drama but it really... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
