The Good Thief’s Guide to Amsterdam Audiobook

" good start to the book but the ending way too long "

" This is a lighted hearted spoof of mysterys. I liked because I just got back from Amsterdam, so I knew where he was and the general lay of the land. It was smart-assed, but with tongue in check, but good for a quick read. In the series he has done London and Paris. I think that I will give them a pass. "

" Great to read the first book by my ex-class mate Chris! A level history now seems a long time ago! a great twist to have a character (as others have said and they are right), who is both a crime writer and a thief! is there something Chris would like to fess up to?! way to go Chris! :) "

" Under the guise of being "funny," this book shows no real substance and is actually a total waste of time. "

" Thought I had it figured out and then they surprised me anyway. I like that in a book. I will likely read the second title in this series. "

" Very much enjoyed this mystery. So much so, that I will be puttng the next book in the series on my "to read" list. The author paints a wonderful picture of details of the characters and places. It was a very quick read and kept me guessing. "

" Cleverly written...looking forward to reading another Ewan book. "

" Fun and charming. I enjoyed the new sleuth and look forward to more in the series. "

" Wannabe Bernie Rhodenbarr with less humor. "

" This was a very complicated murder mystery, with several twists. My only reluctance was that the english was phrased oddly at times. Completely threw me out of the story every time it happened. "

" Cool concept and I like the way he presented the case of the theft and the twists of plot were fun "

" Entertaining mystery with lots of twists and turns, quirky characters, and interesting setting. "

" Nice little mystery. Made me really want to visit Amsterdam again. And I found the main character intriguing in that he was a book writer/thief at the same time. "

" Interesting story. Plot had lots of twists/turns. Reminds me of "white collar". not sure what I think about the writing style. Will probably try one more to see if I like it enough to continue. "

" Not nearly as fun as a Cary Grant caper movie. "

" I enjoyed this book. There was one plot problem that I probably wouldn't have found had the "author" not been talking about plot problems *though I'm sure others would have}. It makes me wonder if he purposely left the problem. "

" this book was fun and unique. good wry humor and kept me thinking. "

" I really enjoyed this, but the ridiculous J'accuse! scene at the end kept it from being four stars. "

" I'm pretty unenthusiastic about this book. The book read like Dashiell Hammett for high Schooler's. "

" I have read this book before and loved it. Is easy to read, and very entertaining. Its about a writer that writes about a thief, but he is also a thief. The story takes many twists and turns. This book has 2 more in its series. Its a fun read. "

" A fun little mystery novel set (obviously) in Amsterdam with a thief/author protagonist. Well plotted and written. "

" Not sure that I'll read anymore of the Good Thief series. I liked the setting, but the plot seemed to bog down about 2/3 of the way through. I enjoyed the Vegas book a bit more. "

" A fairly slick concept with a helluva lead and a nice little a-ha at the end. Recommended. "

" good start to the book but the ending way too long "

" Ehn . . . really thought this would be fun and funny and it just was kinda blah. Not bad just not . . . engaging. Not the story, not the character, not the writing. Boo "

" Under the guise of being "funny," this book shows no real substance and is actually a total waste of time. "

" On top of it being rather mediocre, it was so badly edited : grammatical and orthographic mistakes. Annoying. "

" I am glad this book was just over two hundred pages as I really did not enjoy it at all. Any longer and I don't think I could have finished it. Boring and predictable. "

" The Good Thief's Guide to Amsterdam was much less funny that I was expecting from the back blurb. I'd envisioned something more like Lawrence Block's burgular and while Charlie was a decent narrator, he didn't draw me in and beguile me like Bernie does so well. "
