Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked in a thread on who stole the Mona Lisa as a spoiler-free route to the theft story. The commenter also recommends a film, but says nothing about the writing itself.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
Spoiler-free links (Thanks, palish): http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/03/ff_masterthief_blancha... http://stephenjdubner.com/journalism/silverthief.html Speaking of spoilers, suspend your sense of physics and go see "Another Earth", fascinating if you forget about the plot blackholes ( http://www.foxsearchlight.com/anotherearth/ )
