Museum of Thieves Audiobook

" This is a good little book. Interesting and imaginative. Once I started reading it every time I set the book down, I couldn't wait to pick it back up again. "

" Well, I listened all the way to the end, but I don't know -- it didn't really engage me. I found the behavior of too many of the characters to be unrealistic and inconsistent, and I didn't like the good-guy, bad-guy set up. There were no shades of gray. It's a kids' book, I hear you say. Yes, and so is The Amulet of Samarkand, and Wishing for Tomorrow, and Jacqueline Woodson's Feathers. Good writing for children includes room for ambiguity. "

" it took me a long time to let me think what its about, because its very deep english!but its cool!(ps, i will never live in a city like that!) "

" A fun adventure story with lots of great characters set on an interesting premise: a world where generations of parents have weakened the race by overprotecting their kids. I highly recommend it for an enjoyable, engaging read. "

" I was a bit disappointed that the museum couldn't protect itself more. "

" Amazingly written and in a world that may turn out to be modern societies future. Goldie is the girl every girl wants to be. "

" started slow but then picked up. "

" oh my gosh this is the best book i have ever discovered! I loved every minute of it and now i'm on the second one and just love it already! "

" Great new series! The themes of overprotecting children and what happens to over-coddled kids is quite funny. . . "

" If you liked this book, you might also enjoy Un Lun Dun or The City of Ember. "

" First book in a new series-will definitely be reading book two. "

" I loved this book, loved the mystery in the museum! Can't wait to read the next one! "

" it was really good. i think that, that could happen if parents get to protective. "

" I loved this childrens book. It is fun, exciting and teaches a great lesson. I will definitely contine reading the trilogy. "

" This was a very good novel! I loved the setting and I thought it worked really well with the characters. The characters are very easy to understand and are very likable (accept for a few). Over all, this was a very good book. Except for the fact that the main character's name was Goldie... "

" It is so good!! The main character is Goldie!! And she is so tired of being tied, the bless guardians and THE PUNISHMENT CHAINSREAD IT!!!!Sara? "

" I enjoyed this clean, interesting book. It was a quick read - listened to it in the car while traveling with the kids. I liked the characters. Excited to see what happens nex. "

" AMAZING audio book. Fantasy. Story was good but not great. "

" After a yawner of a start, finished with a great ending. Lots of world building. "I absolutely loved it, Mom. You HAVE TO read this," said my 10-year-old dd. It wasn't bad, but it brought home the fact that I don't enjoy middle-grade novels as much as YA novels. "

" Excellent book and beginning of trilogy. Thought-provoking and a good story. Fun! "

" Another book written last year that I have to wait for the sequel! It was pretty intriguing. A little bit of a WWII allegory, but also unique "

" Slow to start bit had the potential to get better as the series continues. "

" To me, it was reminiscent of Pullman's His Dark Materials. Really enjoyed - great character development, good moving plot. I listened to this, and the audio version was spectacular. "

" One of a dozen new chapter books coming to the elementary library for the second half of the year. A fun sci-fi/fantasy mix. "

" It was a clean, interesting read. Involves a girl and boy as main characters, so anyone should find it interesting. It was a quick read, nothing astounding about it, but definitely imaginative. "
