CDM-Ramon ,

Definitely worth reading

The story line of Moon and Sixpence starts a bit slow but steadily gathers force to a very moving finish. Many interesting characters surely and clearly drawn. The main story takes the reader through the same wondering uncertainty as that of the narrator until the final denouement. The epilog also helps to anchor the story. The only confusing thing is the title.
