Summary: Girl in the Bay State
Review: This is a story full of adventure, roalty, laughs, romance (just kidding). It is about a boy, who is a prisoner who is asked to find a stone that can only be given to a royal person for it to work its powers. The magic it has is that it will allow the royal holder to not die in battle. The reason I rate it a 4 is because it can becomes somewhat boring, but more so entriging at times, but then it says one thing that is interesting, and you can't stop reading from then on. You HAVE to read this book, if you're willing to get hooked on a great author. Go Read This Book!!!!!

Summary: A book to make your breath catch and your heart to leap
Review: The Thief is one of those books you can't leave at home to patiently wait for you, I had to bring it into work and sneak pages here and there. It's one of those rare books that whispers beautiful secrets to you. the lively story it has to tell is age-old, and speaks of an earlier time. The grecian history that is borrowed as a background for the book, while being told in the first person sets the stage for a book of discovery and refreshing excitment. The world Ms.Turner creates awakens what we learned in grade school about the ancient greeks, but when told in a devilish and feeling manner, it makes all the old statues and boring God and goddess org charts come to life! I definatly recommend this to adults that are looking to dive into a place that is beautiful, secret, and a little wicked.

Summary: Extraordinarily good story, for both children and adults
Review: While The Thief is marketed as a children's book it is, like other really good children's books, well worth reading by adults. The background is a fictitious world very loosely modeled on ancient Greece (with renaissance technology). The central character is interesting and well drawn. The plot ends with a twist that makes perfectly good sense, that neither I nor anyone else I know of who read the book anticipated, and that makes the whole story come together as a consistent whole. My one criticism of the book is the behavior of the Magus, one of the main characters. He believes he has located a valuable and politically important artifact hidden in territory controlled by a ruler unfriendly to his own, and wishes to obtain it on behalf of his king. To do so he requires the service of a thief, so he liberates Gen, the central character, from the king's prison, and sets off with him and three other people to steal the artifact. This raises a problem. Gen has no reason to be loyal to either the Magus or his king. The king has told Gen that if he runs away instead of cooperating, an enormous reward will be offered for his capture. But Gen, from everything the king and the Magus know, is boastful, cocky, and rash; he got into prison by publicly announcing that he was going to steal the king's seal ring, and doing it. So there is little reason for either the king or the Magus to expect the threat to work. The obvious solution is to appeal to Gen's vanity--what the Magus is proposing, after all, is a theft even more impressive than the one that got Gen imprisoned. Instead the Magus goes out of his way to treat Gen as a person of no importance, describe him as a tool, announce that the Magus himself intends to take the credit for the theft --do practically everything he can think of to make Gen an enemy rather than an ally. Given that he plans to travel with Gen through hostile territory where controlling him by force and threats will be extraordinarily difficult, that is simply stupid. Yet the Magus is otherwise portrayed as a reasonable and intelligent person. The only explanation I can think of is that the Magus's behavior was necessary for the plot, even though inconsistent with his character. That one point aside, it is a very good story.

Summary: Very original!
Review: 'The Thief' is the story of a young person named Gen who is a well-known thief, and very much a braggart about it. Gen is released from jail by the king's scholar, the magus, and is told that if he can steal one thing for the magus, he will be permanently taken out of jail. Gen claims he can steal anything, but when he finds out he must steal the mythical stone from an underground temple in which no one knows if it truly exists, it seems less hopeful. Along with the magus, two other boys, and a soldier, Gen tries his best to make a journey that may be his victory... or his fate. 'The Thief' was a page-turner as well as an extremely original book. Megan Whalen Turner has woven a story of her own, and I certainly recommend to all.

Summary: The Thief : How Much Can The Story Burgle?
Review: This book, The Thief by Megan Turner is an extremely descriptive Action \ Adventure book that will always leave you hanging. I think this book had loads of suspense. It always made me read chapter after chapter. This book is about an anti established man named Gen who is called out of a king's prison by the Magnus.The Magnus then tells Gen to steal a priceless jewel from a cave in which the bravest people have not made it out alive.Gen also has to face the journey to the cave. He experiences obstacles and having to put up with a rival who is always trying to torture him and annoy him. This book is being recommended because it does not have an average, boring plot, it's plot is very original. The author doesn't use over-used words like good and nice but shocking and horrifying. Also, this book has ancient , interesting mythology that explains how things came to be on the earth, like hills and rivers . This , makes the book improve even more without the plot needed. An annoying thing about this book is the clever retorts that only the main character says . Personally , I think that one can easily read over it without getting annoyed . The bad side never winning an argument maybe corny or stupid to some. But, this doesn't change really change the book because dialogue like that does' n t appear that much in the book. So concluding the pros and the cons, this is a awesome book to read.
