Book Reviews of The Thief of Always
Book Review: My FAVORITE Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was just AWESOME! I had actually seen it on television, saying something about Clive Barker doing the artwork in it. I found it in my local library and just could NOT put it down. I'm used to Clive Barker being for an older audience, but when I read the book as a teen, it was EXTRMELY easy to follow and understand. It read like a kid's book, but had a story beyond that. It had me on the edge of my seat [and on my teacher's last nerve].
A friend of mine bought it for me for a present. It's one of my favorite gifts. I don't think my copy even has creases in it LOL.
Summary of The Thief of Always
Mr. Hood's Holiday House has stood for a thousand years, welcoming countless children into its embrace. It is a place of miracles where every childhood whim may be satisfied. There is a price to be paid, of course, but young Harvey Swick, bored with his life and beguiled by Mr. Hood's wonders, does not stop to consider the consequences. It is only when the house shows its darker face?when Harvey discovers the pitiful creatures that dwell in its shadows?that he comes to doubt Mr. Hood's philanthropy.
But the house and its mysterious architect are not about to release their captive without a battle. Mr. Hood has ambitions for his new guest, for Harvey's soul burns brighter than any he has encountered in ten centuries . . .
