Margaret H. (ExPeruanista) -
Helpful Score: 3
Very badly written. The author seems to think the Elgin marbles are in the National Gallery in Washington, and that 'closed-captioned' means the same as 'closed-circuit.' SPOILER: At the end of the book, after the author has apparently been conned by most of the lowlifes in the northeastern US and some in the UK, through much repetition, conjecture, speculation, fantasizing and lies, you don't know any more than you did at the end of Chapter One, where the original robbery is described. Nobody knows where the art is now or even if it still exists. Check out your library's copy, if you must.
