Review Quotes

Advance praise for How to Steal the Mona Lisa:

"In one sense Mona Lisa is long-form, silly comedy. In another it's a considered, clear series of attacks on convention and the concept of "value." ...a work of sublime absurdity."
--Library Journal

"The perfect book for someone looking to pull off that seemingly impossible heist! The reconnaissance for seven world famous artifacts has been done for you, but the skills you will learn can be utilized in any high value caper. If the riches you will gain aren't enough, the laughs you have along the way are going to be priceless." --Domenick Dicce, author of YOU'RE A VAMPIRE: THAT SUCKS! (A SURVIVAL GUIDE)

"An inspiring read." --Jeff Johnson, author of LUCKY SUPREME
