Top review for a book by Clive Barker
Sean wrote a review on The Thief of Always
A disturbing children's book as well as terrifying experence for adults as well. This books makes us realize that sometimes our biggest dreams could turn into our worst nightmares. The story starts out as the little boy flies with his new friend Wendell(who flys into his room)to Mr Hoods holiday house. It starts out great as he meets a nice lady cook, a new chubby friend, and a different holiday and season everyday. But when the kids realize that the cook has not left the house in quite sometime, they realize that the house will never let them leave and they will be prisoners in that house until the day they die. This is a fantastic read for anyone.
