Review 411: The Art Thief

The Art Thief: A True Story of Love, Crime, and a Dangerous Obsession The Art Thief: A True Story of Love, Crime, and a Dangerous Obsession by Michael Finkel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars



A fascinating true-crime story about a prolific art thief. Young and obsessed with art, Stéphane Breitwieser couldn't seem to leave a museum without stealing something, with his girlfriend serving as lookout. Perhaps the most amazing part was he didn't do this for money, he just wanted to live with the objects. The book is well done, and the narrator did a great job as well.


Just to add: I learned the most stolen art is by Picasso.
