"I could not get into this book - didn't even finish it. Which is too bad, because I find the subject matter interesting. It read like a list of names/dates, and just didn't draw me in."
"Loved it - a great read about the years the Impressionists struggled to be taken seriously and accepted in Paris's art world. I especially loved the detail given about the paintings and all the back stories. The next time I visit an Impressionist collection, I'll have a much greater appreciation for what they did."
"I am loving this book despite the truly unfortunate title which is on the sleazy side. There is a more accurate subtitle: "An Intimate, Colorful, Superbly Researched Account."
"What might seem at first a flowery read for one's mom or grandmother, the book is a historically interesting tale of a group of friends who rebelled against the fashionable art of the day. I really felt like I knew these guys by the end, and I also enjoyed that the author spent a good bit of time on the 2 women artists in the group: Cassat and Morisot. It's no frantic page-turner, but a satisfying read nonetheless."
