I've already read and enjoyed Surviving the Applewhites, The good Thief and The Land of Silver Apples. Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow sounds interesting and I'll look out for it. I'm almost done reading Tender Morsels which is also a retelling aimed at mature teens.

The Good Thief, The Worst Hard Times and The Curse of the Blue Figurine made it to my wishlist. Thanks for the recommendations, Stasia.

Hi Ruth, Nice review of The Good Thief. I recently finished it and liked it as well.

Book #57 - The Good Thief weaves a story that reads like a classic coming of age tale with all the devices, characters and plot twists that make it a tangible and entertaining experience.

Ms. Tinti, The Good Thief is a wonderful novel and I'm going to start book talking it to high school students this year. Can you recommend any other books in the same vein? What other books have you enjoyed in the picaresque genre? Thanks

I've just finished The Good Thief and liked it a lot. Author Hannah Tinti is currently participating in a LibraryThing Author Chat. I really must start making a note of where I hear about books, I'm not usually ...

Hi Hannah I don't have anything to ask, just wanted to say that I finished reading The Good Thief this morning, I liked it a lot and I'm looking forward to your new novel.

A Good Thief - Hannah Tinti. Quite the opposite tone in another children's book. Or at least it appears to be written for this age-group, though this adventure-filled, Dickens-styled tale seems way too violent for kids! Some of the details of the killings, the grave-robbing and the ...

I'm an easy audience sometimes. I loved The Good Thief, Out Stealing Horses, Olive and Jim the Boy. I loved the way Jim was written. The simple style was a perfect fit for the simple story. I thought it was rather elegant. The Good Thief was just a great fun adventure and I think a ...

Mark, I agree with you regarding Jim the Boy. I did think it read like a children's book in terms of plot, though not sure a preteen or even a teen would appreciate the poetic style. Did you see it as a children's book or a coming-of-age book for adults?

I didn't care for The Good Thief all that much. I read it as an Early Reviewer. I hate when I don't like an ER book, but I am honest in all my reviews. Others seemed to have liked that book a lot. Again, that's a genre (swashbucklin' adventure) that's not a favorite of mine. I wasn't ...

... I really don't like reading that way and it may have impacted my reaction to them. Ignore Jim the Boy (sweet!) and The Good Thief (a little too gruesome for children, reads like an old-fashioned tale ala R.L. Stevenson), they're children's/YA books. I didn't finish A Boy of Good Breedi ...

I've got a copy of Midwife of the Blue Ridge by Christine Blevins and also The Good Thief by Hannah Tinti. I'd like to exchange these for literary fiction, if possible. Please send me a message if you're interested.

Nothing much new to report. I did finish The Good Thief. I thought it was...OK. I think I would've liked it in a different reading mood, but quite frankly none of the books I've read since The Shadow of the Wind have really stood out above a 4 star rating. Until, well, yesterday. I picked ...

45. The Good Thief by Hannah Tinti Excellent story about a little boy with one hand, rescued from an orphanage by a man claiming to be his brother. They have quite an adventurous time before Ren finds out the truth about his missing hand and his missing family.

... misunderstand. It may have already been published, but that doesn't mean they aren't still sending out ARCs. I finished The Good Thief and I'm currently working on The Necklace, which I am enjoying more than I expected to.

I'm going to copy and paste what I said about The Good Thief in message 162: >159, A whole bunch of us got The Good Thief months ago from something unrelated to LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I'm not sure if people have been receiving it yet for ER, but don't worry about the other reviews. ...

200: I know squeakychu received The Good Thief as I mooched it from her.

I still haven't received The Good Thief either, but I did see Janet Maslin's review in the NY Times yesterday. I also notice number of recent reviews on the LT page.

"I've been doing it for years. I was made for it." The Good Thief - Hannah Tinti "Who wants to know?"

"...a teaching hospital near North Umbrage." The Good Thief - Hannah Tinti "What's that in your hand?"

I'll be happy to trade my ER copy of The Good Thief (which I'm still reading, but hope to finish eventually) for anything on my wishlist at BookMooch. By the way, The Good Thief was released in bookstores yesterday. My Early Reader copy is registered at BookCrossing and has a BookCrossing label ...

... that are due to be released or have been recently released, and I've got some time on that one. I am currently reading The Good Thief, which was released last week. I'm listening to The Great Gatsby and surprisingly not loving it. The language is sometimes flowery and overblown to the ...

Oh I am sorry LadyN. That stinks. Here is my review of The Good Thief if anyone is interested. In retrospect I think it lacks detail but the fun of the book is the plot so I see no need to give that away. Oh well. http://www.librarything.com/work/5364148/book/34238458 I think the link ...

>159, A whole bunch of us got The Good Thief months ago from something unrelated to LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I'm not sure if people have been receiving it yet for ER, but don't worry about the other reviews.

Has anyone received a copy of Hannah Tinti's The Good Thief yet? I was notified I snagged a copy on July 24th, but I moved recently and forgot to change my address until recently! I'm trying to decide if I'm just not going to get my copy now, or if it could possibly still be coming or being ...

From The Good Thief: resurrectionist- used as a more pleasant term than "body-snatcher".......it is all semantics

Finished my ER book, The Good Thief by Hannah Tinti. It is a fabulous story! I just started The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood for an LT Theme Read, and it is looking good.

Early Reviewer: The good Thief by Hannah Tinti B&N: The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry

My book came on the day of my move. I am already over halfway through The Good Thief and I am really enjoying it. I will post my review when I finish. Speaking of which I will have to figure out how to change my address for ER as well.

... quite good magical realist short stories but a bit oversold in the cover blurbs. I am reading my early reviewer copy of The Good Thief which is very good but again oversold in the cover blurbs. I sort of like discovering a book is good instead of having impressive fellow authors gush ...

"It is an indelible part of your soul." The Good Thief - Hannah Tinti "You have a wife?"

This was only my second time making requests but I will be getting The Good Thief so I will let you all know how it is. I have only ever requested the 2 or 3 I find most interesting.

... looked interesting to me were A Constant Heart (which would go along wonderfully with my current Tudor obsession) and The Good Thief. Shade looks pretty interesting too. I joined ER in March and I've gotten Summer Blowout (I posted my review today, compski tells me it's a "hot review" ...

I should be finishing The Good Thief today. I'll probably read Say Goodbye next because I always feel more obligated to Early Reviewers than to anything else. I figure it would reflect badly on the whole LibraryThing community if I don't do those reviews as quickly as possible.

... I'll let you know my thoughts further in. As for recent stuff, my reviews of the last three ARCs I read (Pillage, The Good Thief, and The Gargoyle) are all here.

I've tried every way that I can think of to get a copy of The Good Thief by Hannah Tinti, including contacting the author, but have had no luck. I did request it thru ER but don't hold out much hope. If anyone is willing to part with a copy I have a nice hardback of Stealing Athena by Karen Es ...

I finished Hannah Tinti's The Good Thief (loved it!!! Review is here) and now I'm reading Pillage - which refuses to touchstone - it's a YA fantasy by Obert Skye, so far pretty intriguing. (why do I always ...

... bizarre that I can't see a typical book club ever picking it out. Now I'm continuing my ARC train with Hannah Tinti's The Good Thief. So far it's very charming. :)

#38 LisaMM - I loved The Good Thief! It was such a wonderful book. I'm still writing my review for it, since it's not out for a long time. I just really wanted to read it.

25. The Good Thief by Hannah Tinti I was reading Alice in Wonderland but when I got The Good Thief in the mail I couldn't put it down. I am now back to reading Alice in Wonderland unless I get distracted again.

I finished The Good Thief by Hannah Tinti yesterday and really, really enjoyed it - now have to express that in a review as it's an ARC. Next up is Aberrations by Penelope Przekop, another ARC that I really need to read because it's released next week! I hope it's good. #5 - Yeah, Th ...

I received The Good Thief in the mail yesterday which was unexpected since I never got a response to my email. Do publishers usually respond that they're sending them? It looks like it will be a good book and I'm looking forward to reading it but I'm in the middle of The Aviary Gate right ...
