The Thief Lord is a pretty good book so far. When I first started reading it, I couldn't get interested in it. After about the first 10 chapters, the book grabbed my attention and the only reason I put it down was if I had other homework to do. Cornelia Funke is a very good author and I wouldn't mind reading more of her books. I love how close Bo and Prosper are as brothers and how close all the rest of the children become. It really makes me mad that an aunt and uncle could choose between two brothers like they are. When Victor Getz was first introduced, I was thinking bad news and that he would be a real mean man. Turns out so far he's actually a pretty good guy. I'm still shocked that Scipio, after all this time, was lying about everything. He pretended to be the worst of them all and acted like he knew how to survive on his own. I think in a way he was kind of mocking the poor children that are having to survive on their own. Now I’m going to read the rest of the book to find out the other twist Cornelia Funke is going to throw into The Thief Lord.
