BOOK REVIEW THE READY-MADE THIEF My childhood best friend, Jill, who lives in Atlanta is a huge book reader. She recently sent me a list of books by first time authors with great promise. I read three of them and decided to review the one I liked best. The Readymade Thief was the one I thought best to pass along. Lee Cuddy is a 17-year-old girl who has a penchant for stealing. She becomes quite popular with the “in crowd” by being the go-to person to shoplift anything for anyone to make extra money (saving for college, she says). Eventually, Lee takes the fall for one of the popular girls who has befriended her, and ends up deserted by her family and in juvenile detention for 18 months. Shortly thereafter, Lee escapes and attempts to join a community of runaways, but soon finds out the group is more of a secret society obsessed with the works of artist Marcel Duchamp. The group believes that Lee is the missing piece of a puzzle hidden within Duchamp’s works. She escapes again and becomes involved with Tomi, a computer hacker. Together they hide out in abandoned buildings and homes of vacationing families. When Lee realizes that she can’t escape from the society, she is forced to confront them about why they are after her and what they want from her. We also know from the beginning that she is pregnant (who’s the baby daddy?) and we have to worry about that throughout all of her ordeal. I loved this book, but some parts towards the end became confusing to me and I almost felt stupid for not being able to follow what was happening. For that reason, I give it 3 roses, but don’t let that stop you from reading this really great read. The book reminded me of Dan Brown’s Inferno with all of its hidden clues within works of art. You will be googling Duchamp’s works of art (they really exist) to follow what the author is talking about, but I really enjoyed that part of it. The author did such a great job of mixing fact and fiction that you really believe you know what Duchamp intended in his artwork. This book is really a must read for anyone who likes that kind of suspense. Until next time, read a book. If it’s a good read, pass it on! 28 TYBEE BEACHCOMBER | OCT 2017 By Nell Klein By Augustus Rose On Going Happenings A-J’s Dockside - Happy Hour 4-7pm, Live music Friday thru Sunday, Lunch 7 days a week 11am-5pm, Dinner 7 days a week 5-10pm. 1315 Chatham Ave. American Legion Post 154 - Canteen open 5pm Monday-Saturday, First Mondays Pizza Night 5-7pm, Bar Games Tuesday and Thursday 6-9pm, Line Dancing Wednesday 7pm, Thursday Dinners 5:30- 7:30pm, Bingo (come early!) and Karaoke Friday 8-10pm. 10 Veterans Dr. Benny’s Tavern - Happy Hour Monday thru Friday 10am-7pm, Open Pool Tuesday all day, Pool Tournament Wednesday 8pm, Karaoke Friday and Saturday 9pm.
