The Thief Lord Review

Have you ever read a novel that when you were reading it that you pictured certain actors has the characters portray in the novel? Well most people do in some form picture their favorite book turning into a movie and they choose their favorite actor/actress to portray those characters. What I am talking about is books that you couldn't see has movie or has no real pull to become a movie. That novel for me was the Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke because I don't see it becoming a movie, but the characters I see has some actors like Bob Hoskins as the private eye in the novel in which the author actually saw the character being portray by Bob. 

This novel was a decent read if you want some humor, pick pocketing little thieves in you thoughts. The character were finely written with child like quality. However, this story is primarily for the younger reader, but still enjoyable by the older crowd. I don't know when or where I will reread this novel, but its differently a worth while investment of time. Cornelia Funke was terrific at weaving a decent story for younger kids and almost Oliver Twist type novel. She differently knows how to inspire kids to be what they desire. All in all, if you are a parent looking for a novel to read to your young ones then feel free to read this novel. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.
