Book: The Bellini Card by Jason Goodwin
An intriguing book, more complex than perhaps it needed to be. The descriptions of place and time were very enjoyable. The author's knowledge is obvious in the details. It was not an easy book to read following all the people and various sub plots made it hard to keep all in mind when picking up and putting down - which is how many of us read now. Not a long session all in one go. Words used to describe it: atmospheric, authentic but confusing, difficult to follow, intriguing, too episodic. It scored quite highly between 6 -8.
