Negative Positive
Title: Great premise, bad ending
Review: This book had me right until the last sixty pages or so. I read it in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. The main character is a total original - a manic depressive painter who tries to control his psychotic tendencies with medication, but keep himself a little bit insane for the sake of his art. It was a very accurate portrayal of bipolar disorder. Unfortunately the last third of the book quickly loses credibility and ends in a most unsatisfying way. I can only recommend this book for those who suffer from bipolar and are perhaps looking for a character they can identify with. This book is a lightweight mystery with Hollywood ambitions - nothing more, nothing less.
