Negative Positive
Title: Compelling and thought-provoking
Review: One of the best books of its kind I've ever read. Yes, the detailed accounts of heists are thrilling, but what sets this book apart is the deeply penetrating insight into the mind of an extraordinary individual. Mason pulls no punches in his brutal self-examination, and the result is a work of profound observation that haunted me for days. Best of all, the writing is splendid. (I "confess" to being a fan of Lee Gruenfeld's novels, which is why I bought the book in the first place.)
Is the review positive or negative?
