After several tries, I gave up on this book. The primary character is a vapid art expert who kind of wanders through the story. The plot was not very interesting and certainly not compelling enough for me to continue. ( )Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing. Exciting, but without stridency. The different threads of the plot are related without too much complexity. Perhaps the bad 'guy' is too obvious. Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing. Shadows of Leonardo starts off in Russia, 1945 with a German officer and a mysterious crate. Next we are in New York City 2018, at an art auction with protagonist Adam Barrow who is presented with troubling information about the authenticity of a Da Vinci artwork. He will then go out of his way to find the truth. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and got swept up in both the past and the present. The book is easy to read and it became a page turner, the more I got immersed in the plot. I do enjoy books that involve a painting so I was delighted to read this one.Thank you to Black Rose Writing and LibraryThing Early Reviewers for the opportunity to read and review this book. Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing. Excellent read. Reminds my a lot of some Steve Berry novels - there is a current story/mystery that is rooted in events in the past (in this case, WWII and the Nazis). The use of Adam as the main character, an art historian/researcher allows the author to go into great details on art (both the present day art gallery world as well as the time period for the origination of the art). This is a very entertaining read that makes me want to seek out the author's first book (The Last Van Gogh) which will hopefully fill in some more details and background on the main character, Adam Barrow. Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing. Shadows of Leonardo by Will Ottinger—an early reader’s reviewI wasn’t sure what to expect when I started to read this book—it started nearly 80 years ago and bounced back and forth to the present with no easy to see connection. But as it took shape, I was hooked. I found myself trying to guess how the characters were related—how the past would color the present— if the characters’ assumptions could pan out-- and I wasn’t disappointed. I liked the protagonist; he was flawed but believable and I pulled for him—I wanted him to avoid disaster and sidestep the tight spots that fate was throwing in his path. I found the story fascinating and the glimpse of the underbelly of the art collector’s world was enlightening. If you enjoy art at all, this is a good read. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
