review 1: A young man escapes an abusive father, traveling to Paris to follow his dream of becoming an artist. He is totally narcissistic, so you never fully bond with the character, although you do feel somewhat sorry for things that befall him. A few people he meets in Paris befriend and help him, but whatever good fortune he finds is always taken away by some tragedy. He finally prostitutes himself to a gay man, which leads finally to his dream of owning his own art studio, but he is left wondering if it was worth the price to get there.
review 2: I received a copy of this book to review and was of course drawn to it since it is set in Paris. I was there recently so enjoyed reading about a young artist who was trying to make it in the city of lights. The book follo... morews the progression if Gastien from ages 18 to 21 and is the first book in a series. It was sad to read about some of his experiences and what it took for him to succeed. I will also say that this book has quite a bit of 'smut' in it, so is something to avoid if you are like me and don't really care for that kind of writing style. less
