A review by reikista
El pintor de batallas by Arturo Pérez-Reverte
2.0
A war photographer gives up photography to become something of a recluse and paint war scenes on the inside walls of an old tower, where he is found by a Croatian man he once photographed and whose life was inevitably altered by that single shot and who has come for his revenge.
The premise and some of the dialogues were intriguing in this exploration of the effect of the observer on the observed, but my attention wavered throughout and I frequently thought of quitting. I have read other books by this author, some of which I have thoroughly enjoyed, so I kept at it, but it wasn't satisfying.
