"The Good Thief" by Hannah Tinti

In my opinion, The Good Thief was a little slow to kick off and actually get interesting. As I started to read farther into the book, I became intrigued and the story was extremely detailed. The gruesome events such as when the man in the red gloves cut off the bartenders hand. Or when they described the image of Benjamin after being beaten by Pilot and the other men. The descriptions of the setting were very realistic as well, and I think that the reason that I enjoyed this story so much was because when reading the novel, it seemed as if the story was pulling the reader in. I also think that the plot was interesting because very rarely do you ever read books about criminals using a child's disadvantage to their advantage. Overall, the book was great. Kudos to Hannah Tinti! :)
