Recently we've been reading The Good Thief in class for Ms. Gamzon. Personally, I didn't think it was a bad book, but I didn't think it was so amazing that it should have won all the awards it did. I found the characters somewhat unlikable. Ren was constantly doing things that you wanted to slap him for, Benjamin was just a jerk, Tom was self-pitying, annoyingly so, though well deserved. The landlady that talked in caps was hard to read and Ren's uncle had an accent that took away from what he was saying.
It wasn't a bad book, don't get me wrong, it just didn't intrigue me as much as it seemed to do for others.
