Review for Thief
Isbn: 0-595-22884-4Great new book will lead you through a life of poverty and, unfortunately, reality for many of the world’s less fortunate.
For those who have money, stability and family, this book will give you a look into the life of those less fortunate than yourself. Although it is fiction, the storyline, the plot and the life depicted is very real.
Set in Lima, Peru, the book details the life of a man, who was abandoned as a baby. The book takes you along in his journey of life as he grows and experiences the "streets" as many could never understand. For most of his life, he is alone and never feels the security of love or happiness. He often wonders why life has been so unloving towards him.
"Thief" is a book that keeps you wondering and wanting to know how the man will succeed, or will he, how could he with all that is thrown his way? Could his circumstances have been changed if he had a normal life? We will never know. All we do know is the struggles this man, and many other experience with a life on the streets.
This is a great read. Try to put yourself in his shoes and you will learn more about others and yourself as you read the book.
