I thoroughly enjoyed the art discussions and insight into the art market offered in An Object of Beauty. However, the remainder of the book just wasn't for me. All of the characters are unlikeable, and the novel has a harsh, edgy tone that rarely works for me. I honestly should have DNF'ed early on, but soldiered on because of the art content. Read if you enjoy: unlikeable characters, character-driven novels, art market
