The Readymade Thief
|
Augustus Rose
|
In the final days of August I was only able to complete one book, The Readymade Thief by Augustus Rose. Please check out previous posts or my GoodReads accounts for more details on the other books read!
The Readymade Thief was a Penguin First to Read ARC e-book in exchange for an honest review.
Even though the books plot moved forward slowly, there was a lot of the same things happening page after page that I was still kept interested in the story. There were fantastic stretches when it came to looping science and art together. It was interesting but felt like an over blown Da Vinci Code. I loved the Da Vinci Code though so this was a solid read for me. The characters were hard to connect with though and they did not seem to follow their own personal codes unless it was easy and satisfied the plot. Due to the difficulty of liking the characters I went from solid 3 stars to 2.5 rating.
