it was ok

This book is a pretty quick read. It’s listed as 224 pages but it’s actually 178 pages plus acknowledgments/bibliography. I thought the premises of the book is pretty cool. A security guard working at the Metropolitan Museum of Arts telling fascinating work related stories. However, I felt the author/writer, Patrick Bringley, did not present his experiences in an engaging or interesting way. I thought majority of the chapters in the book were actually quite boring to read. Earlier in the book, the author talked a lot about his family life & how it affected his work. This could have been an interesting topic if the author was a more creative writer. Instead, anytime the author brought up his family, I would often sigh & skip the paragraphs so I could read more about the museum. The way the author described his interaction with museum goers & his descriptions of artwork were much the same, pretty dull & often boring�. I don’t feel like this book was well written & I would not recommend this book.
