Summary: Great Adventure!
Review: I was expecting another kids book when I started this, but soon, I realized this was so much more. Turner combines Gen's adventures with her own mythologies to create a masterpiece.
The loyalty, betrayal, politics, magic, and suspence will keep you hooked. The plot has so many twist and turns you will be reading it over and over again to catch all the hints.

Summary: The Rouge lives!
Review: My twelve-year-old sister and i loved this story so much that we each read it twice. The exciting characters, colorful language and twisted ending makes for one of the best stories i have read in a long time. I would hire Gen as a theif any day.

Summary: I Love This Book!
Review: The Thief is simply a truly wonderful novel. At times funny, at others touching, it leaves you feeling complete when you put it down - and itching to grab 'The Queen of Attolia,' Turner's outstanding sequel!The characters are different from what one would expect in a book of this genre, but none the less very fufilling. The Magnus is loyal to his pig-headed king, but over time he realizes that he cares for Gen. Gen himself, the lead character, is truly engaging and witty. You will find him held close to your heart before you know it. The only dissapointment that I can think of is simply that Turner has shone no interest in continuing this series - or anything at all!

Summary: to put this lightly...?
Review: i really didn't like this book... it was boring and nothign actually happens. the whole thing is about like two big events. and then it just ends. the plot isn't a very good one in my opinion and i just didn't like the main character at all.
if you're going to read a "thief" book, i recommand
the thief lord.

Summary: The Thief - a must-read!
Review: I was absolutely stunned by the masterful performance of Megan Whalen Turner in this book. The story revolves around Gen, a thief whose talents are commissioned by the king to steal a stone thought to be only a myth by many. Turner's narrative moves seamlessly, and her characters are wonderfully sympathetic and full-fleshed. The power of the book lies in its unexpected ending, but readers will find themselves cheering Gen on long before it. Definitely recommended for anyone (of all ages) who loves a well-crafted story.

Summary: Dull and not worth the read
Review: Sorry to say this, but The Thief did not steal me away. THis book was extremely dull and slow moving. The plot did not interest me at all! While there were a couple Interesting twists, they weren't good enough to keep me reading this book. Maybe if you're a little kid and you'll read anything this book will do it for you. But i would suggest you put the theif down and read something GOOD ...

Summary: Highly recommended!
Review: This is possibly the best book I ever read. It remains one of my favorites! Gen, an imprisoned thief, is recruited by the magus of Sounis as a tool to give Sounis power over the ajoining country Eddis, although some of the characters in the book aren't what they seem... I've reread this book many times and still haven't gotten sick of it. I highly recommend it!

Summary: The Professional
Review: First of all I love anykind of book when it's about a thief. This book is about when Gen (the professional thief) lands in the kings prison for thievery. After many months of being exiled from the outer world and not seeing day light for so long, the King's magus calls upon him. The magus wants Gen to steal an ancient relic and in return let Gen go free. When Gen sets off on his journey with the magus and three other associates he comes up with a plan of his own.
I highly reccomend this book if you love anything about a thief as I do and if you enjoy acction/adventure. You will also like this book if you derive joy in Megan Whalen Turner Books. I have to say thank you for making this book Mrs. Turner.

Summary: a wonderful and delightful book
Review: this is definatly a work of art. The author leads you through an adventure with secret hints and suprizes as you go through the story. I personally have read the book over 30 times. It has been my favorite book ever since I first read it. I highly recomend this book, it and it's sequal, The Queen of Attolia (which is a bit more hard on the stomach) are wonderful.

Summary: The Clever and the Quick
Review: The Clever and the Quick The leave you hanging book The Thief by Megan W. Turrner should be a favorite book of all ages. It?s about a clever thief who lands himself in jail by his bragging. The king asks the court magus if he could use Gen (the thief) as a tool to find the Hamathies?s gift, So Gen can bee freed, And the magus, Sophos, Amiadeos, and Pol can be rewarded. queen. The Thief an adventurous book of quick wit and trust. It is a recommended book of taste and opinions from the characters to the readers. When there is talk about a strange unknown artifact, characters tell the myth after that.
A reason people might not agree with the given explanation is because the book does not capture the readers? attention in the beginning. Or the reader might not understand what the characters are talking about. (But of course the myths explain it all practically. But read this over the edge book?s first two pages and see why most people do and will like it.
