Book Reviews of The Thief Lord
Book Review: A Very Good Book
Summary: 4 Stars
Cornelia Funke is an amazing author. I have read three of her books now- The Thief Lord, Inkheart, and Inkspell. The Thief Lord is the book I'm going to talk about right now. In the beginning, the book was slow, and I almost thought it wouldn't pick up, but it did, and when it picked up, I couldn't put the book down. This book is about two brothers, and a few of their friends. The brothers, Bo and Prosper, had run away from their homes after being separated because of their mother's death. Bo and Prosper go to Venice, and find four other runaway children who help them survive without any adults. Scipio, one of the children among the group, steals from prestigious palaces and buildings to help the others survive.
This book made me think about what it would be like without a guardian to provide for me, and I just couldn't wait to see what the children would do next! The Thief Lord is a fictional story that takes place mainly in Venice, Italy. I definitely recommend this book to people who age from preteen to adult.

The Thief Lord
By Mayank Kapoor
Are you interested in books that have wonderful surprises? Well if you are The Thief Lord is a book for you. It has suspense and adventure while being a fantasy. There are 345 so it??s not to long. The book has no illustrations so you??ll have to create mind images. It??s mainly for teenagers and adults because it may be confusing for younger audiences.
The Thief Lord is about two runaway kids called Prosper and Bo. They ran away from their mean aunt and uncle after their mom died and went to Venice. In Venice they meet up with another gang of street kids. In the gang theirs Hornet, Mosca, Riccio, and Scipio or the thief lord. Hornet??s a girl with brown hair that she wears in a long braid that looks like a stinger. That??s how she gets her name. Mosca is an African-American boy who loves the water and owns a boat. Riccio is a boy with spiky hair getting him the nickname hedgehog. And finally Scipio is the head of the gang and keeps the gang alive by stealing things for them. That??s why he??s the thief lord. For more description on Prosper and Bo here??s an exert from the book:
??One was small and blonde with a broad smile on his face with a broad smile on his face; the other was older, dark-haired and more serious looking. He had his arm around the younger boys shoulders, as if he wanted to protect him from all that was evil in the world.?? That shows their appearances and relationship with each other. The book??s about what Prosper and Bo do with the gang and their adventures.
I like the book because it has good description and suspense. The author describes all the situations in the book so you can see what??s happening in your mind. She also uses suspense at the end of chapters and throughout the book to keep you reading. Without the suspense, I think the book wouldn??t have become an international bestseller.
So if you??re looking for an action packed thriller here it is. The Thief Lord is a wonderful book for fantasy and adventure lovers that you won??t be able to put down!!

Summary: 5 Stars
Are you one of those people who just can't choose between fantasy, and mystery? Then the Thief Lord by Cornella Funke is great for you! It's about 2 kids that run away from their "evil" aunt and uncle, and meet a boy who calls himself the "Thief Lord". He leads a group of children who enjoy making mischief, but the "Thief Lord" Holds a dark secret, and what Prosper and Bo (the 2 kids) discover will change their lives forever. This book was very suspenseful, and it was like 2 genres in 1 book. It was also very nerve wracking, and there were thieves that were kids! So, if you are 9 or over, and can't choose between fantasy, and mystery, or if you just like both, then this book would be great for you! I would highly recommend this book!Book Review: Adventures
