I decided to do a book review on Tokyo Heist by Diana Renn because most of my friends have never heard of it. This amazing mystery has exotic visions of Japan, especially the tourist attraction's popular city life.
Tokyo Heist, an amazing novel by Diana Renn, involves a heroine named Violet who solves an incredible Japanese mystery. She and her dad, a gallery owner, are suddenly sent to a commission in Tokyo, and they soon find out that her dad's rich clients are the victims of a missing Van Gogh painting. Lives began to be in risk (including her's and her father's), and as the plot thickens in this book, interesting characters began taking large roles. For example, I found the character of Edge fascinating, even though he was not in much of the book. At some times he was important, and at other moments he was just there or out of the scene. Although I wasn't impressed by this missing character, I just enjoyed his personality and way of thinking. Violet also was a genuine heroine, as she balanced her artistic manga personality and cleverness perfectly. Renn's writing gave an absolute majestic and exotic feel to these characters; it was just beautiful filled with Tokyo's pleasures and delights. The quotes were mixed with visionary moments, allowing the reader to think about this piece of literature. Moreover, Violet's relationship between her and her divorced dad increased, and this gave me a little thought about how the two main characters were developing as people. Additionally, it was a perfect add-on to the suspense and violence in the whole story. All together, I would give Tokyo Heist, an amazing and thought-provoking book, 4 and a half stars. The book was lovely; however, I was hoping for more speed in Violet's trip to Tokyo and some more character significance. This is a great summer and exotic read for teens and up. I absolutely loved this book. :)
Happy Reading!
