Review: The Thief

After much hard work, I finally finished one of the books I'm being forced to read for an English festival. The first book I read (The Hunger Games) was AMAZING! Then I moved on to The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner, and I have to be honest, it was pretty awful. Would you like to hear about it's awfulness? (Is this a word? I hope so.) Too bad, I'm going to tell you anyway.



Considering this book was written from a male perspective, I should probably get a guys opinion on this book (I really shouldn't read my post out loud while I'm typing, because my friend Scott here just said, "It was amazing!"), but I'm not going to. I think that was actually one of the biggest problems for me. I don't like reading things from a male perspective, being female and all. So a lot of guys would probably like this book.

When I read, I like to have some sort of connection with the characters, so I can relate to what they are going through. That really didn't happen with this book. Again, there weren't many female characters in this book, so that's probably why. Also, it was all action, no romance. I love a good romance. So I guess it wasn't necessarily a bad book, it just didn't appeal to my personal taste. I would recommend this book to people who like action books or people that enjoy being bored out of their mind.

Today I started reading Going Bovine by Libba Bray, and it's pretty good so far. So hopefully I will have a review for you soon, which means that it was a good book that I read really fast. Have a good week!
