Book Reviews of The Thief
Book Review: My Favorite Book of All Times
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was perfect to my expectations. Gen(the thief)and the other characters had very defined personalities. I loved all the twists and turns, and the ending was totally unexpected. Where did Gen ever get so cunning? One thing I've found is it is very hard to describe how wonderful this book is to someone else. I tried and the other person didn't get the feeling of the book at all. You really have to read it to understand.Book Review: Mystery, adventure and very fun book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book , a Newberry honoree much like Nancy Farmer's A Girl Named Disaster, tells the story of Gen who after being locked up in the King's prison is given a chance to escape by the Magus who wants him to perform one task, to steal Hamiathes' stone, a stone that claims real and not so real powers, or die trying. I read the book in just a couple of hours. It has fast pacing and Gen is an amusing, smart and smart-aleck-y character who has more to him than the reader is led to believe.Book Review: One of the best books we've read
Summary: 5 Stars
What starts as a simple "get out of jail" adventure story evolves into a rich world with stunning landscape, a fascinating pantheon of Gods, and characters who are more than they seem.This book may be challenging for younger readers. I read it aloud to my 8 and 10 year olds, and they loved it, but did not appreciate some of the plot elements. For reading alone, I'd recommend it more for the 12-16 year old set.
Book Review: READ THIS!!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Awsome!!! Best plot for a book I've read in a long time and I've read hundreds of books. Might be a little slow for some people but if you read it all the way through it really is great. I also read the next 2 and could not put them down. I would recommend it to anybody who can read. Do not listen to the bad reviews unless you don't like a good story. I mostly read fantasy but i loved this book anyway. Read it!!Book Review: REALLY great 5 Stars
I loved this book!! I think the main character, Gen, is so neat because he's like a good guy and a bad guy, all at once! This wonderful book takes place in Ancient Greece and is basicly about how Gen is pulled out of prison to go and steal something (I'm not saying what)and then, a big chunk of the book tells about how Gen and four other men travel across three cities to get to the place where Gen has to steal the something, but there's SOOO much more to it! The only thing I don't like about this book is that they use a few mild bad words, but less than this one PG-rated movie I once saw. This is a very well written, VERY awesome, and over all great book that I'd recomend to everyone in the world!
