The Thief of Always 
Sooooooooo, I mentioned that I had sworn off Mr. Clive Barker yeeeeeeeears ago- due to squeamishness- Ms. Stepheny called me on it- and said, "PLEASE... PLEASE...PLEASE- read THE THIEF OF ALWAYS before making your final judgement on allllllllll of his work". Okay, Stepheny, I stand corrected- not all of his work is GROSS. In fact I quite enjoyed this blood-less tale. [image error]10-year-old Harvey Swick is bored...bored, bored with school. Bored with the dreary weather, and bored with his
Whoa. What a tale! I only read a few pages a week ago and I couldn't pick it up before yesterday but when I did, it was un-put-down-able!I'll write a more elaborate reviewsoon...

This was the first book that I actually picked up and wanted to read by choice. Being in middle school and forced to read what was on their criteria never amused me at all! So I really owe a thank you to Mr. Clive Barker for opening up my mind and a whole new world for me!This was my first book I read, wanted to read and enjoyed reading it from start to finish!!!3 time Re-reading: March 1-5 2018= still remains a favorite of mine. Clive Barker remain my favorite author
I remember being a kid and being bored, and it is THE WORST. It wasn't just the boredom, it was the feeling of needing something but having no idea what. Awful. It will ruin your life. And that is how you become me. I don't really have much to say about this book. It's my second Barker, and vastly different than the first of his that I'd read (The Hellbound Heart). I liked this one well enough, and it's a quick read (or would have been if I didn't have this need to make new levels in Mario
Always a no spoiler/no plot detail review...I wish I would have read this book when I was like 12 or 13, what a very powerful book this would have been to me. But, sadly I only just read it now at age 41 but since I'm still a huge lover of children's fiction (especially dark children's fiction) I still found this story to be every bit as magical and scary as it intended to be.This is my first Clive Barker book that I've finished. I started previous works (Mister B. Gone and The Great and Secret
What a fun and imaginative story! 5 stars and full review to come

I have to thank my bestie @jobis89 for quite literally forcing this book into my hands by getting it for me for Christmas, and THIS EDITION. Gah. Its almost too beautiful. Clive Barker illustrated it himself, and while I always enjoy a surprise illustration in a book, these were on another level, I swear. They toe the line between truly dark horror and childrens drawings, and admittedly (Im thinking of Marr here), cross that line occasionally, but who didnt love reading a book as a kid andSooooooooo, I mentioned that I had sworn off Mr. Clive Barker yeeeeeeeears ago- due to squeamishness- Ms. Stepheny called me on it- and said, "PLEASE...
