Among Thieves by David Hosp

-
This story is based on the largest art theft in history where an estimated value of $300 million were stolen from a museum in Boston in 1990. Till today, this case remains unsolved.

In this book, it starts with Devon Malley being imprisoned after getting caught from stealing at a woman's boutique. So he hires lawyer Scott Finn and his team, Koz and Lissa, to fight for his case. But we'll soon discover that Devon is part of a really big heist i.e. the art theft.

In a nutshell, I found all the characters too weak. Thank goodness the plot was good enough to make me turn the pages! Honestly, I much prefer Brown's Fat Tuesday to this.

Verdict? 2.5/5
Price? Hmmm must go search for my price list. Again! :(

Next!

Dear bookaholics, If you were wondering why this bookaholic is no longer putting up her usual book reviews and interesting bookish finds, and only updates her blog with events, well, it's because I'm very tied up with something else right now. However, it'll end very soon...and my book reviews will be up again in July :) I'm looking forward to it as I REALLY REALLY MISS READING!!!! If you have found any good reads recently, please feel free to post your recommendations here or drop me an email :) Till then, keep reading!! (image from google images)

First of all, HAPPY WORLD BOOK DAY EVERYONE!! :) Let's spread the joy of reading, not only today, but every other day by sharing great reads with your friends and family, also, if you have too many on your shelves, give them to those in need...I came across this on guardian.co.uk and thought that I'd share it with you... "With or without TV debates, most thoughts at present in the UK are turning to the choice we will make in the forthcoming general election. However, the stark fact is that very many people in the UK will not be a part of that process; not because they don't want to necessarily, but because they lack the most basic skills to do so. They can't read. They cannot make a choice. It is a truly terrible democratic deficit." (More...) The thought of parting with your favourite books can be painful. To be honest, I had problems giving mine away. But just thinking of the impact it can make on a person's life helped the 'parting' a whole lot...
