Best book ever. This book is about 2 brothers, some street kids, a detective Victor Getz, and many people from the beloved country of Venice. I'm so baffled about this book that a can't even talk... You just need to read this book to find out what happens. I cannot speak for the book. Anyway, the fact that this book was written very well, and the other fact that I can read this book so many times again and again, makes this book the perfect book for me, and probably/maybe even you! I LOVED THIS BOOK!

I never read this book but I predict that this will be amazing!
The Thief Lord is a book where Prosper, his younger brother Bo, run away from home and and find a person who calls himself "The Thief Lord" and join a small gang of street kids who are more family then their parents will ever be. Exciting adventures ensue! The story is amazing and many of the characters remind me of my friends shenanigans. Five stars because the story and writing itself is a real page turner for me. I would recommend to 5th grade and up.
Pretty impressed ...I picked this book from school library yesterday..Pretty confused if this was the right one I was looking forward to read it and yes it's the one When I first started reading this I got good vibes and i felt this was something like me and I'm loving it .. I haven't finished it yet .. there is still a long journey to go and i wish if there was no ending .. the character's and the whole storyline has driven me nuts..when first I got to know the thief Lord was not an orphan but just an ordinary rich child who was helping his friends made me so sad and emotional .. it's really written so well and it feels like I'm inside the book .. I can imagine the movie theater and little bo and his brother prosper..also the hedgehog and Scipio the thief Lord..there are so many twists and ups as down which I'm loving and fangirling so hard .. can't wait to read this whole book and leave a comment here about my feelings about the ending and whether it was best or good .but I'm sure it's gonna be the best end and yeah I love the cover of the book (sounds weird ?)okai so let me stop right here ad get to to reading process. ..

This is a great book. It is a little slow in the beginning but you just have to be patient with it and it will hook you fast! It is full of nonstop action, mystery, adventure, and suspense! Super unique and original! Lots of plot twists. Amazing character development and very unpredictable! You can never forget this wonderful book!!!!!!!
this book is full of action and detail that is so vivde that it feels like you are there
I think this is a awesome and very interesting book. The character are special and how they interact with each others, also the relationships between them make me feel alive. When I was reading the story, I feel nervous when Victor almost got them, I feel funny when they joke and get angry at each other, I feel differently. The story is very cool and as I was reading it, I feel like the characters are coming alive. After reading this story, it really reminds me of me and my best friends. When I was small, I always imagine and wanted to have a group of friends that forms a team that is very famous and powerful.
This book is really good. It has action, fantasy, and science fiction in it. It is a great book for everyone. If you haven't read this book before, you should defiantly give it a try.

This was a great book. It had wonderful character development, and Bo and Prosper, along with all of the other characters, were real people. Nobody just had a good side, and things weren't ever just peaches and cream. I loved the fact that there was always something to keep you reading, and I loved loved loved how it all ended. This is just one of Cornelia Funke's enchanting, magical, and gripping tales. Please read!
