Kid takes a painting from museum that was attacked by terrorists. He goes on this nuts adventure trying to protect this bird painting. He befriends a Russian kid in Las Vegas, an old antiques refurbisher, a former classmates’s mom, and a girl who also survived the museum attack. There’s alcohol, drugs, guns, car chases, international destinations…it’s as if Fast and the Furious was wearing tortoise shell glasses. I’m not really doing this book justice. I mean it is a Pulitzer Prize winner. Read The Goldfinch [2013] by Donna Tartt if you have a lot of time on your hands. It’s good and anxiety-inducing (just return the damn painting!!!!), but it’s long.
