Reminiscent of Bringing Down the House and Ocean's Eleven, this is unlike any heist novel I've ever read. And I think that's due to it being a character-motivated book, with 5 conflicting personalities and dynamics. The idea of a group reclaiming stolen art for its country of origin is noble, with the 50 million dollar prize a mere afterthought. The chapters are short, keeping it highly readable despite being a 400 page book. As the thrill of the heists wears off and they're pursued by the FBI, we finally get conflict between the characters (with a few unrealistic reactions). I loved the idea of this book, though at times I was questioning if college students could really pull this off. Overall an interesting topic at a fast clip that I'd recommend to art lovers one and all.
