review 1: 2012/ Gripping tale. Very well written.Gift from Carolyn.Intriguing glimpse into the world of art dealers, my word.Frightening look at Russian mob activities in the West. I prefer to pretend it's not that bad in the real world, but it probably is.Learned [at least temporarily] what a "Chekist" is."Ilya's mistake, he saw now, was to believe that the world's restoration required another system, the tzaddikim, which he had blindly identified with Vasylenko [his mentor in the Mob]. The truth was that no system was required. It was the lonely work of each man, working in isolation, to restore the balance of the world. The error did not lie in any particular system, but in the desire for a system itself."278I don't pretend to understand this, but it's an example of the philoso... morephical/moral dimension of the book.
review 2: wow! I did not see the ending coming - Probably bc I don't really think too much on what is to come but let the book take me along it's path. Part of me was shocked how Maddy actually did her "work" in the museum but also made me a little proud that she was able to stand up and do something on her own without a boss or someone telling her to make the moves. She was the chess player not the pawn itself. This book was about a topic I was not very familiar with and was an enjoyable read! less
