locke lamora could rob me of all im worth and i would literally get down on my knees and thank him for the honour. he is the most deceptively clever, enticingly cunning, and gentlemanly bastard i have ever read and i cant get enough of him or his crew. you guys, this story is unreal. its so morally wrong that you dont even want it to be right. its that luring, that gritty, that bold. its masterfully chaotic - so many subplots, so many characters, so much world-building. theres never a dull10.07.18: Kindle offer for 1.99$. I loved this book although it is not perfect and there were some things about it that annoyed me a tiny bit. But well.. love is not a logical thing so...As other reviewers said it is combination of Ocean 11 (with a younger and more cheekier main character) and the Godfather. I would also add the bloodiness of Game of Thrones ((view spoiler)[ and the inclination to kill some of the lovable characters (hide spoiler)]) and some Jaws.The main character Locke Lamora
5 Holy shit what did I just read Stars.★★★★★ ❝I only steal because its heaps of fucking fun!❞ "You cant be serious. This crap is as welcome as a pile of severed dog cocks. Firstly this book was incredible, seriously i can't even think of words to describe how good it was. This was my first time reading anything by Scott Lynch and I'm really impressed, he is a fantastic author and extremely talented. I'm so glad I picked up this book.

► BR with the BBB gang starting January 11, 2016.☠ DNF at 31% ☠Warning: I pretty much have nothing to say about this book. Does it mean my review will be short? Now now, people, don't be so naïve. Okay, let's do some quick maths here. I read the first 31% of this book. This book is 752 pages long (it feels like it's 2,500 pages long, but don't tell anyone I said that). Which means I read about 230 pages of this Delightful Piece of Fast-Paced Awesomeness (DPFPA™). Which means I should have
Hello my dears, is it a mentally decapitating book you wish to read? (Pun intended)Come, come right this way.............This book is exactly what you're looking for, IF you're looking for a fantasy riddled, ruthless, enigmatic piece of art. This book was that, and so much more. This book is around 700 pages with apt descriptions and precise detailing. It revolves around an orphan thief (because that's the best kind), whose world is changed when a plague riddled village is left with its only
Lynch introduces us to a gang of intelligent, flamboyant and charismatic thieves called the Gentleman Bastards around whom this book (and I assume the entire series) revolves. Locke - the infamous Thorn of Camorr, Jean and Bug were my personal favourites within the group but the camaraderie presented surrounding the gang was amazing - almost making us as the reader feel part of the ensemble - as we were privy to the cons, the secrets and also the stories revolving the characters youths.Lynch
