The Thief: An Isaac Bell Adventure is a well researched book about motion pictures and the burgeoning talkie movie industry in Hollywood, California. It has definite good guys and bad guys. People are murdered but unlike other stories not a lot of gory description in the discussion of the dead person. The book is a definite thriller. Four stars were awarded to the book in this review. ( ) Another Isaac Bell story.... not his best story.. kind of tired of the crazy "close-calls" that almost seem like he has got a 6th sense at times... this book is missing the "technology" side with this book, (planes, trains, submarines, etc) from the previous books.. although it does get into the movie industry a little bit... Very quick reading indeed.... Stopped on pg.101, but I can see that this book might appeal as adventure to a teen reader. There certainly is a wealth of historical detail packed in. A kid reading this would get a rich visual of the development of - say - the movies. It was a effort to move from silent films to talkies, one I had not quite appreciated before reading this well researched adventure. Unfortunately, I just could not get into the adventure part, which is rather crucial. I will continue my search for compelling YA fiction. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
