Unveiling: A Novel

Rating:
Summary: Colorful, but stretched too thin?
Review: This was a colorful, light read that I enjoyed, but unfortunately it made no impact on me as great novels usually do. Wolfe makes the book worth reading in all her detailed descriptions of Rome, the art her character encounters, and the profession of art restoration. Beyond that, I was slightly disappointed that the plot was somewhat weak and anticlimactic. I wish that the author would have expanded upon insights into the main character's emotions and history. Maybe if the book was longer the story could have been stronger. Some sub-plots and references are mentioned quickly and then left untouched, leaving me frustrated at the end of the story. Having read the book in one day and being a teenager, I must admit that the reading level seems below me even though there are some very adult subjects in it. Overall, I appreciated the novel but hope that in the future, Wolfe's writing style matches the content she chooses to include.

Summary: factual mistake
Review: In the beginning of the book there is a factual error that has me questining the validity of the rest of the information. It is impossible to fly direct from NY to Rome from LaGuardia Airport. LGA is a domestic airport in NYC with the shortest major commercial runway in the US. A direct flight to Rome would leave from JFK or Newark.
The rest of the book was interesting, but a bit thin.

Summary: Unveiling
Review: Ms. Wolfe is a very gifted writer. Her words and prhases are thoughtfully chosen although they have a spontaneous and conversational tone that similar to gifted syarn spinners sharing a freas tale with a group of close friends. The characters she develops are wonderfully human , yet strongly defined. I am impressed with the writer's ability to teach readers so much about the beauty and mystery of art along with the tecnicalites of restoraton while simultaneously drawing us into the persons and plot of the story. For me this is a story about a persons confrontation of her deepest yearnings for "the more" of that msystery that transforms existence into a life that thrives. A very enjoyable read. Thank you Ms. Wolfe. Keeep on writing for us.

Summary: Must Read!
Review: Well I have not yet got a chance to read her book, but I must say this. I know Ms. Wolfe as my professor at Seattle Pacific University. If her book has any of the fire and enthusiasm that she displays everyday in her lectures, than this book will be one hot read. Congratulations Professor Wolfe!
