Anyone read "The Lies of Locke Lamora" by Scott Lynch yet and want to comment on it? I've only read the blurb, but am dying to read it (and being in Central America for the time-being will ensure that I don't for quite some time).

Still, read this:

[INDENT]"Life imitates art and art scams life in Lynch's debut, a picaresque fantasy that chronicles the career of Locke Lamora—orphan, thief and leader of the Gentlemen Bastards—from the time the Thiefmaker sells Locke to the faking Eyeless Priest up to Locke's latest con of the nobility of the land of Camorr. As in any good caper novel, the plot is littered with obvious and not-so-obvious obstacles, including the secret police of Camorr's legendary Spider and the mysterious assassinations of gang leaders by the newly arrived Gray King."[/INDENT]

Sounds pretty Thiefy to me, although he doesn't sound like the loner type. You can read more at Amazon, but I cannot wait to read this (and no, I'm not a plant).

Thoughts?
