A Nice Book for Kiddies (and Everyone Else)

by  angel011 ,  Jan 7, 2002
19 out of 19 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Well developed characters, interesting plot, very imaginative
Cons: Too short
The Bottom Line: "The Thief of Always" is thoroughly enjoyable book both for children and grown-ups, for everyone who enjoys the magic of childhood or wishes to be reminded of it.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: When I heard that Clive Barker wrote a book for children, my reaction was "Wha...What? I must see this!". The thing is, before "The Thief of Always: A Fable" I had read only "Weaveworld" and "The Books of Blood", and Barker didn?t seem to be someone...

"Time...the subtle thief of youth..."

by  anjum_naweed ,  Sep 30, 2001
18 out of 18 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Curiously enthralling. Brilliant use of imagery and illustrations. Magical.
Cons: Who is the thief? One of the interpretations doesn't work very well.
The Bottom Line: It's a highly creative read. Although it finishes quickly, within that short time-span we feel so much and learn so much. Thought provoking in large quantities.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: It?s quite a strange title isn?t it? Course it is. The Thief of Always? What does that mean then? One is predisposed to imagine Always as some sort of a noun i.e. it?s the actual name for something ? that would make a little bit of sense. To take...

Pros: It's an easy and enjoyable read that keeps your attention 'til the end.
Cons: none!
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: It starts: "The great gray beast February had eaten Harvey Swick alive. Here he was, buried in the belly of that smothering month, wondering if he would ever find his way out through the cold coils that lay between here and Easter."
