I gave "The Art Forger" by B.A. Shapiro 3 stars. I saw this book reviewed in a magazine and thought it sounded good. It was. It's the story of a young, female artist who is very good are reproductions of classic works. She is asked to reproduce a painting with possible illegal reasons behind it. She accepts the job and thus begins the interweaving of the story of her painting this, a story of a series of events that happened to her 3 years earlier, and a story of events 100 years ago that are tied to the current painting she is working on. The author does a great job of tying the 3 stories together. I found it a bit difficult to follow at times but only because I was unfamiliar with the art terms that were used regularly. This was a good read. I recommend it.
