Pantalla Grande. From the beginning, the story was unravelling from the pages, and not in the interesting, gripping way of an unfolding story, but as a piece of cloth fraying at the edges. I found the book leading me from one disappointment to the next, and though there were elements of the story that I enjoyed, they were few, far between, and not particularly well-constructed.
Do not judge this book from its cover; its definately not as good as it looks.

Artemis Fowl Series Eoin Colfer 8. Just twelve years old and already he's a criminal genius, plotting to restore his family's fortune with a spot of corruption and kidnapping. This novel is one of those. I really liked its atmosphere: London in , the way its streets and buildings were depicted, how travelling from one place to another was so much different from what we know today, the many people we get to see, all both divided and united in a common fear.
The plague is raging, and everyone wants out The illness is sometimes depicted in really gruesome ways, and it helps enforcing the constant fear, the terror as soon as someone realises his spouse or her friend is developing "plague tokens". The description of the plague doctor was also very vivd, instilling dread as soon as he appeared. The interactions between Charlie and Anna-Maria were quite funny at times—he the boy left in an orphanage and proficient in the ways of the street, she a young woman with the manners and expectations of someone born in a good, though impoverished family.
At first, I had my fears that she would be a dead weight, but fortunately she proved she had resources of her own when it came to improvising and remaining strong throughout their journey to find who killed her sister. However, I thought the plot on too many convenient occurrences that happened by chance, and not because Charlie or Maria already had the relationships or resources needed.
For instance, a character who discovered one of the victims' corpses later appears to work for another character that Charlie happens to know, and is also a relation of yet another character that Charlie also happens to know. All right, a lot of people had either fled or died from the plague, but surely the world can't be such a small place all the time? I would have accepted those coincidences easily if they had been of Charlie's making, but here they were too much on the deus ex machina side. I also found the last chapters to be a muddle of sorts. Some things happened, yet when I thought about them, I realised that I didn't see them actually happen in a chapter, and that there logically wouldn't have had time for them to happen; the narrative should have shown them to the reader, at least.
Revelations about the real identity of the murderer left me wondering if I had completely missed something, or if it was just confusing. Same with how everyone was related within the plot. I felt as if everything was dumped on me all at once, too abruptly, and in a way that didn't always make sense. Finally, I wished a few more elements had been explained. What of Charlie's brother? What secrets did the papers hold? Was there actually some intriguing at the Court, considering how many hints were dropped that the King knew something, or that some of the people close to him were involved in some conspiracy?
Unless this book is the beginning of a series, in which case such information may be revealed in the next installment, but I'm not so sure about that. Conclusion: I really liked the depiction of plague-ravaged London in the 17th century, but the plot didn't cut it so much for me in the end. View all 8 comments. Overall I did enjoy it.
Thief-taker
Enough, at least, that I'd probably read the next one. On the other hand, I did put it down for months at a time and only finished it when I didn't have more interesting things to read. There were two issues, really, that I had. The second and lesser one was something I could've probably lived with joke not really intended but the first was a deal breaker. I really hated this ending on every level. The 'who done it' person was totally ridiculous and introduced right at the end.
I really, really hate that. That's not a twist. That's poor plotting. The motives of the villain were also some of the most stereotypical ones you'll ever find. I was like 'did this author just She just went there On top of the villain just springing up from Somewhere, we are then hit with a second plot that has nothing to do with anything.
It's like the murderer is dealt with in a rather ridiculously easy way and BAM! A new plot line I might've ignored this but by the end on top of everything about , I just It almost felt the author went out of her way to put dead bodies in every scene of this book. Even in places where there should be no dead bodies By the end I was totally reading this book to see if there was a scene without dead bodies and there were few.
In a way it was almost amazing because it was done so creatively But there were still dead bodies.

A body. But it wasn't just one body. Suddenly, all around them, dozens of bodies mysteriously float to the surface. Our heroes surmise that these bodies must've been here for a year because apparently there'd been a battle close by. Up they pop, all these gear all in place and everything.
How the hell did they stay all clothed and shit after a year? How did that one body floating up queue the others to rise as well? I seriously lost count of the bodies he tripped over. I am SO not joking.

I wish I were but I'm not. I don't think he even tripped over anything else. How the hell did he miss all the bodies he was always surprised he stumbled over. Like, the corpse is right there. It's not hiding. Yet he's always surprised. We also get a scene of him jumping out of a upstairs window to land on a When he saw the wagon, he was like 'awesome! Those dead bodies will lessen the fall! It was so utterly random and needless. I sadly went into that scene with the notion that the MC couldn't trip over a body here and I was mistaken.

I would have to go back and re-read to see if the twist really worked. But despite any shortcomings again, if any in those departments, I thoroughly enjoyed this book about a man who is essentially a s, plague-ridden-London version of a PI who unwittingly becomes the prime murder suspect in a heinous murder. Loved the characters, both bad and good, and particularly the dynamics bet I'm not sure if this book was technically sound some head jumps that only editors, not readers, care about.
