The Thief of Always - A Book Review
I must start this review in utter awe and amazement. Where on earth does Clive Barker get his imagination, and can I buy a bottled version of it? The Thief of Always is absolutely chock-full of fierce creativity, whimsical dread, and masterful storytelling. While it is technically intended for a middle-grade audience—as a few imagery-heavy scenes might be a bit too spooky for elementary schoolers—it is a fable that can be thoroughly enjoyed by readers of any age. It is a slim, punchy book that you can easily devour in a single rainy afternoon, though its sharp imagery, captivating story and poetic- like prose will likely linger in your mind for much longer.
