Assuming Names: A Con Artist's Masquerade
by
by
These days, the antihero has become somewhat of a fan favorite in terms of a reader's choice of protagonist. Thompson excels at writing a character with shades of grey, rather than strict blacks and whites. Not so much corrupt as mischievous, the Countess is a persona that is interesting to see evolve, even as she unravels.
There are countless times when you read this story, and all the times that "Constance" is duping one official after another that you wonder if Thompson is actually getting the better of you as well. Is this actually something that happened? The news article clippings on her site seem to suggest so. One thing's for sure: Tanya tells a story and she sticks to it. And besides, its all too crazy to be anything but true.
Looking forward to reading the sequel.

Sourb wrote: "What's the theme of the book?"It reads like a fictional autobiography. I don't know if I would say that there is a theme beyond quoting what the author calls the series... criminal mischief.
A sequel? Well that’s interesting...
