The Thief of Always

Summary: Barker Rocks
Review: This is an awesome book in my perspective. The "Thief Of Always" is an awesome book because Clive Barker is descriptive about every character he uses so that you can imagine it in your mind. Authors should always be descriptive about everything in their book that is important. That is exactly what Barker does. This book is about a magical but bad house where kids like Harvey Swick (main character) get tricked into going there. Harvey was a bored kid who just wasn't happy at home. That is how he ended up at the "Holiday House". Barker was very descriptive about this magical house as Harvey walked up to this hell hole for kids. If you love fantasy you would love this Book. It seems Barker has an expanded imagination full of great ideas that he had put into this book. Barker describes the magical people that work at the house with full throttle detail; he describes their faces, bodies, how they talk, how they walk, everything you need to have. It's so descriptive it's almost like a movie playing in your head. If you have little imaginative thinking then this will boost your mind. This is a great book for any age that ranges from 12 to 15.

Summary: the best book ever written
Review: This was an extraordinary book to read. It's about a young boy who was brought to a place called the Holiday House, which is for young children who are bored, lonely, or just need to get away. The owner of the house, Mr. Hood tries to convince children that it is a perfect place and they will never want to leave. I personally loved the book, it was very well written and you will definitly get lost in the imagination and imagery in the book. Clive Barker is an excellent writer and gives amazing description of all the characters. I highly recommended this book to anyone with an active imagination.

Review: when i was 12, i randomly picked up this book in a bookstore, started reading there, and my mom had to actually buy it she says, because just walked aorund reading it, i even left with it in my hands still reading and reading in the carr, out of the car and in to the house where i sat in my room for 2 days until i was done. a day later, i read the book again.

this book forever remains in my mind as the best book i've ever read. the imagery is amazing! absolutely perfect. it's a dark tale and it is absolutely the best book i've ever read.
