I really though I would love this book, I love art, love the premise. I'm a voracious reader, but rarely have read a book as poor as this. I kept reading, since I wanted it to improve, but finally gave it up 3/4 through, just didn't care to continue The dialog is really, very poorly written; and the writing is in a very strangely detached style, the "Passion" in the title is never achieved. Last one from this author I'll read.
