A review by ourladyofcats
The Painter by Peter Heller

3.0

I adore violent, problematic characters, but something about Jim just didn't quite sit right. His overall character never seemed to be quite enough-I felt totally unsatisfied after finishing the book. The whole "Hemingway" thing just seemed kind of blasé. I enjoyed the book in general, but didn't love it as much as I thought I would.
