Jacob "Finch" Bonner is a writer. After limited success with his first novel, his later writings are lackluster, and he can't find an audience. To pay the bills, he teaches at a MFA program at Ripley College. There Jake meets an arrogant, aspiring writer with a guaranteed best-selling plot.
A few years later, after discovering some information, Jake decides to write a book based on the details the arrogant writer told him. The book becomes a huge success, but Jake starts receiving correspondence threatening to expose Jake for stealing the story.
I was anticipating this book for a while due to the publicity buzz. It took me a while to get into the book, nearly to page 100, before I felt the story take off.
I also immediately knew who "Talented Tom" was, but not the full identity until an excerpt from Jake's novel, The Crib, was revealed. Once I read that, my suspicions were confirmed. I enjoyed reading The Crib excerpts.
