The Lies of Locke Lamora Audiobook

" 3.5 stars? The latter third didnt really do it for me, but still a good read. "

" Couldn't connect with any of the characters. The plot seemed ok but not all that interesting. Stopped 1/4 into the book. "

" A fun book that feels more like a caper movie out of the 60s than a fantasy book. Good fun with clever plots to rob the rich just to do it. I enjoyed it. "

" You know that bit in Shaun of the Dead where he kills his mom? Yeah, that bit. There's a point in this book where it has "that bit" in it, and after that the whole story gets kinda rubbish. But the first half is jolly good. "

" simply amazing, can't believe it took me soo long to start this...just amazing. Finally some criminals with spunk. "

" It's not exactly what I'd call meaningful literature, but The Lies of Locke Lamora is fun in a popcorn popping, summer movie sort of way. "

" The Lies of Locke Lamora was truly excellent. One of my new favorites. If you've ever been intrigued by the idea of a well-run, clever group of thieves, this is your book. "

" Just ok, can't say I'd recommend it but wouldn't shoot it down either. "

" Good book, a bit boring at first but get better. "

" Love it so far--the prologue alone was worth it "

" The story was really really interesting and captivating. It was exactly like the other reviewers said, a mix of ocean's eleven and godfather. The author added a bit of filler in the middle to make it lengthy but otherwise it was an amazing ride. "

" It's Ocean's Eleven - with swords, sorcery, noble houses and good old-fashioned gangfights. A fun read, though a bit slow at times. Everything does come together in the end in a reasonably satisfying climax. Looking forward to starting the next book. "

" This was a beautiful book. It was good, smart and funny. This is one of the best books I have read, in the fantasy genre or otherwise. "

" Fun read! I think I liked the interludes better than the current day story. "

" I love this book so much. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun reading a new author, and I can't wait to get to the next one in the series. Thank you, Scott Lynch, for reminding me how much fun it could be to read late into the night thinking "just one more chapter!" "

" I loved the book but I can't recommend it because of the bad language which was completely unnecessary. "

" A disturbing look into what people will do to make it in the world. "

" Not the kind of fantasy I'm used to, but this was really good. Loved Locke as a protagonist, and I saw none of the hits coming. Fascinating world and a great revenge story. "

" This book tricked, lied, cheated, joked, and murdered its way past every one of my other favorites until it was sitting on top of a pyramid built of the cold, bloody corpses of every other book I've ever loved. "

" It's Ocean's 11 + Pirates of the Caribbean starring Robin Hood! "

" It's been a long time since I've read a book this exciting and smart. I love all the characters in the book, and specially Lamora! Believe hollywood has already snapped up film rights for this book... "

" This was my first sci-fi/fantasy novel and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Locke is a well developed character, the plot is unpredictable in a good way, and the world created by Lynch is accessible yet still fascinating. <br/> <br/>Looking forward to Red Seas under Red Skies. "

" The audiobook version is very good; I love the narrator's style. The story is interesting, too, even with the swearing, which makes it seem more real. "

" Great book combining the brilliance of a group of people in the line of Ocean's Eleven, but set in a fantasy world. Good writing, good humor. "

" It's Ocean's Eleven meets Game of Thrones. Great read! "

" Really strong novel -- didn't let me get lost in the flashbacks (flashforwards?) by losing too much momentum. I'm a sucker for heroes who are Gentleman Rogues, so this was a natural: Locke is a con artist with a heart of gold. (Or at least a gold-containing substance.) "
