The characters in this story made it interesting for sure. James is a wealthy quick-witted artist who desires recognition for his talent. When the experts repeatedly refuse to give him a chance, he becomes resentful and fears his wealth has negatively affected his ability to integrate into the art world. Refusing to give up, he First of all, I have to commend the author on his writing.

Refusing to give up, he formulates a risky plan to change his stars. With the help of Harry Lange, a guy who is no stranger to the underworld art scene, Raymond, a character who isn't afraid of a little jail time and his ex girlfriend, "Shard," who has a profound effect on James, they embark on an unpredictable journey. The twist at the end in particular really took me off guard. Overall, this is a great read, filled with interesting characters, and unforgettable themes about the human condition.

Although I enjoyed this novel, the one criticism I have is It started a tad slow for my taste and devoted a little too much time to the MC's love for art and painting. Although this was an important piece of the story, I sometimes felt as if I'd been spoon fed the information.

For this reason, I gave the book four stars instead of five. Overall, a great read. Jul 19, Jill L rated it really liked it. Having loved Brian Marshall's previous novel, Fleet, I was caught off guard to find myself annoyed and unengaged with the characters and plot during the early chapters of Breaking In. So why did I keep reading?

Because Marshall's capturing of atmosphere and mood, especially through descriptions of light, is fantastic. I needed to know what might happen in these spaces he'd created, even if I currently was exasperated by the inhabitants and their doings. Also, it was pretty witty. And why did I Having loved Brian Marshall's previous novel, Fleet, I was caught off guard to find myself annoyed and unengaged with the characters and plot during the early chapters of Breaking In. And why did I end up giving it 5 stars? Because of the sheer rush of reading pleasure warning: oncoming metaphors when the plane stopped lumbering down the runway and finally lifted off; when all the gears suddenly meshed.

Because I like view spoiler [being completely surprised by a twist hide spoiler ]. Because view spoiler [ it turned out to be a redemption novel, and I'm always a sucker for a redemption novel hide spoiler ]. Highly recommended. Jun 03, Julie rated it it was amazing.

Brian Marshall has a way with words - they jump off the page - you feel like you are in the book! It is a hilarious story with many insights into the art world and people in New York City. The characters are quirky and memorable and the ending is great. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. Julie Cortese. Jun 28, Jeffrey L Walker rated it it was amazing. What an excellent story and very different book than "Fleet".

The characters are well drawn and the story takes you through some twists even though you're told up front what's going to happen.

I enjoyed it immensely and I recommend it. May 20, Dan rated it it was amazing. James Ibedson is an aspiring New York City artist whose middling-quality work can't catch a break. The critics ruthlessly hammer his latest gallery showing. The adult son of a wealthy art collector, he's filthy rich and resentful that the Art Establishment can't see beyond his money to the talent he actually has.

He is convinced that if his paintings received the attention they deserved he could hold his own against his contemporaries, artists the critics seem to fawn over simply because they James Ibedson is an aspiring New York City artist whose middling-quality work can't catch a break. He is convinced that if his paintings received the attention they deserved he could hold his own against his contemporaries, artists the critics seem to fawn over simply because they have some dramatic family history. But how to get the needed notoriety? All his efforts to make a splash seem fruitless until, waking up one morning, it hits him.

He knows what he's going to do. The novel at its heart is about character, what it means to run risks not in theory but in the thick of things, when one's wealth no longer substitutes for the abandonment one feels. James' "mother had died when he was nine.

See a Problem?

He had no sister, no aunts. Just a couple of older cousins living in Ohio, or Iowa, one of those states with the vowels, who were nothing but a once-a-year photo, names on a Christmas card. Marshall masterfully probes the inner workings of James' psyche. For James' plot to succeed, he needs the help of others. Like Harry Lange, whose work in the art world is not always on the books; a guy named Raymond, no stranger to prison; and Ray's ex-girlfriend Cheryl, or "Shard," whose own talent fundamentally changes James' life.

Jul 07, M. Cox rated it really liked it. Quirky, unexpected, and artsy are three words I'd use to sum up this novel. This was a fun read with plenty of literary elements to keep the narrative interesting, and subplots galore to keep the entire read intriguing. Each of the characters really stands out, and I loved the inventive descriptions and lines that sometimes made me unexpectedly laugh out loud. The only reason I gave this four, not five stars, is that it lacked some urgency. I felt maybe the stakes could have been higher or Quirky, unexpected, and artsy are three words I'd use to sum up this novel.

I felt maybe the stakes could have been higher or clearer to make this harder to put down. But this author certainly knows how to entertain, and, along with that, maybe gives us a chance to all do a little introspection. I highly recommend it, especially if you like art, New York, museums, art heists, or just good reads in general!

In the middle of heartfelt moments, Claire would suddenly ask Cole about his previous girlfriends, they had to lay out all their ugly stories, I didn't really understand this.

The second part wasn't necessary in my opinion. All that drama, it was useless and drove the story to the pit. Sorry Shan, this wasn't a win for me, ; View all 32 comments. After 3 attempts, I just can't do it.

There is zero depth, zero connection, and the sex scenes are annoyingly overdone. View 1 comment. I have this bad habit of frequently checking out the kindle top best sellers list on Amazon. Before I discovered Goodreads, that was one of my main ways of discovering new books to read, particularly for the cheap indie stuff. I always figured if a book was on that list, there had to be something going for it for so many people to be buying it, right?
