There's little emotional involvement, and the rest of the story just meanders. ![]() The story is very slow to get started, and the promised fantasy element doesn't appear until the last 75 pages. The boys thought he was some kind of hero because he did whatever he wanted and also was capable of magic that was seldom used for anything good. The second thing that bothered me was that none of the adults in the book seemed to want to confront him on it or question him in any way. One.it's a book marketed for 10–12-year-old children and it seemed that the entire theme of the book is based on the boy known as The Thief Lord and his habits of stealing and how enthralled with him the two boys were that was with him. ![]() I found the book problematic on several levels.

I am travelling into blackness, or, more specifically, blackness as a trope, blackness as it was defined and revised, espoused and abandoned, by two colored girls known as “the silent twins”-the identical twins June and Jennifer Gibbons, who, living in Great Britain with virtually no education and no peers, developed brutal skills of self-invention and cleaved to their own ferocious intimacy, their continually “amazed” relationship with their other half. It lies at the core of the events that prompted the journey I’m taking now, which finds me sitting in a cold carriage on a fast train headed toward Haverfordwest, a small market town in southwest Wales. I have always clung to the story in Plato’s Symposium of two halves meeting after a long separation in “an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy,” because the pursuit of this dream drives so many of us-or, at least, those of us who long to be irrevocably transformed by closeness. ![]() ![]() 0 A un 0 le pareció que este documento no es útil, Marcar este documento como no útil.
