Swashbuckling, crass, and fantastic. The structure is simple - there's a Godfather-like plot in the present and then the coming-of-age story in the past. Lynch alternates chapters and as a result, builds a compelling story of young thieving friends and their brave and dastardly (or should I say bast...
okay. um. Locke Lamora is awesome. and the Grey King is seriously messed up. and don't even think about approaching this book if you don't like violence or cussing.and now I can officially add Lynch to my ever-growing list of authors I hate for making me cry in public because I hate crying in public...
Imagine a group of con men--disguises, fake identities, the works--with a particular set of skills honed over years of discipline, training and research. Now imagine them in a medieval setting. Sound good so far? Part Ocean's 11, part Oliver Twist, Locke Lamora and his band of merry men run compl...

A while back I was walking around a bookstore and a book cover caught my eye. I picked it up intending on reading it but realized it was the third in a series. Of course I had to go search for the first one. Come to find out that I owned the kindle version and did not know. Best Luck Ever! Strai...
One of those very popular titles that tend to show up in the "Best Fantasy Books" lists (here is one list I rely on). This could be the book that brings me back to reading more fantasy novels (as I tend to have a preference for sci-fi). The Lies of Locke Lamora hits the ground running from the lengt...

While engaged in their latest scam, Locke gets betrothed to the daughter of the Capa, the crimelord of the city, and the Gray King starts picking off the Capa's subbordinates. Can The Gent...
