Moore is so cute and clever, and this book so lovingly assembled and well researched... but it gets 3 stars. Not as funny as the funniest books, not as moving as more serious books; the book tries to walk a tightrope between comic, and mystery/fantasy, and historical... and it's "just O.K." For people who have a love of Paris at the time (late 19th century) this book may amuse a bit more. For those not already familiar with the art scene at the fin de siecle the book may fail even more.
