This book has an amazing plot. My friends told me to read the book, but i was reluctant. After many late night readings i was finished. Prosper and Bo are two children stuck in the streets of venice. After a mysterious man named the Thief Lord takes the boys in all seems to be going well. The biggest hiest in history is about to take place, when the boy's rich aunt comes looking for them. Will the boys escape their aunt and find out who the Thief Lord really is? Read The Thief Lord to find out.Book Review: GREAT...until the end
Summary: 1 Stars
I had a unusual feeling while reading this book. Let me explain. As I started reading the beginning of the book I said to myself "this is pretty good...really good infact." Is I got to the middle of the book I said to myself "this is really good...excelent in fact." Then after I finished the book I said to myself "that was the stupidest book I ever read."
Now I know that you are probably going to buy this book because all the other reviews make it sound heavenly, but it isn't. For some people it might, but for me, and I assume a lot of others, this book is a waste of time.
You have to be asking yourself "what made him have such a great change of heart," and this is the reason:
The book starts out like a normal world. It is located in Vinice and outlines the life of two runaways. These runaways meet a "thief lord" (if you've read the book you know why I put quotations). This lord gives them all kinds of stuff, and helps them survive. Anyway I don't want to ruin it for you even though I KNOW you aren't going to read this.
So the world is a normal one. You have to be saying "why is he saying the world is a normal one all the time." The reason is that infact it isn't, and by the end of the story the book changes from a fun, action packed drama into a fantasy story. This change doesn't work and because of it, makes reading the whole story a waste of time. I hope you listen to me because I know you have better things to do than read this book.
Oh and if you read Jewel Allie's review, you will find that she agrees with me.
