The ForgersMy rating: 2 of 5 stars

I’m always one for good book porn, but sadly there wasn’t enough in this one for me. I don’t like unreliable narrators and also found the narrator to be snobby and arrogant. I can like heroes and antiheroes, but there has to be something to like or admire (secretly, perhaps). The characters were never fully developed for me to know them. They were more cardboard cutouts, especially the sole female character.

In this genre, I prefer Arturo Pérez-Reverte’s The Club Dumas and The Flanders Panel.
