He dedicates his work to an art history professor who then works with the FBI to track him down. This is the first work for this author and is pretty good except his dialogue needs some work. The art professor talks much too stilted like she's reading from an art history slide. ( ) Very gripping thriller that never takes a slow turn. I was very pleased with this book. The ending slightly surprised me with the way that it was wrapped up. It was a little change from the normal. I think the author could have expounded on it a little more for my taste, but I don't think that would have been the point. This novel was more of a psychological thriller rather than a pulse pounding shoot 'em up. I would award this book with a 4.25, but given the whole star 1/2 rating system I will have to settle for 4. Mr. Funaro certainly knows how to write a psychological thriller. This is a bit less gruesome than his previous book, The Impaler, but still has its element of horror. The Sculptor is picking his victims based on how close their physical characteristics will match the sculptures he is re-creating from the people he kills. He basically turns them into the sculptures. It is one of those books that grabs hold and you don't want to put it down until you find the ending. I have a feeling there may be more to follow. I certainly hope so. I enjoyed this one, it is creepy, graphic and disturbing, in my opinion not scary though. OMG the beginning really grabbed me, The Michelangelo Killer creating amazing sculptures to display and it was people inside of them, WOW. The description in the book had you right there with the victims, being tortured by The Sculptor, but with love and perfection. The serial killer used a book as his motivation and the detectives used this through out the investigation and the author went into detail of art history, I thought this was good and I enjoyed it but it may be a bit to much detail for others. Everyone having different interpretations and trying to figure out the Michelangelo Killer was interesting, I kind of wish I had it also. The suspense I enjoyed was the huge WHY and in the ending the author did an amazing job at bringing it all together. I did find the the whole scene when they met the Sculptor completely unbelievable but still enjoyable. I would love to discuss this one further with any bloggers that have read or will read it. I enjoyed the premise, I was completely intrigued. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
