No, I haven't read it but "<br />The Goldfinch is about teenager Theo Decker, who survives a bombing, and in the aftermath becomes a (mostly) accidental, one-time art thief." didn't make me want to read it either but then again there are lots of stories that have a plot somewhat to this nature and they turn out so fantastic.
