The Theif

I have just finnished reading an amazing book. The book was called 'The Theif'. The book was part of the quick read collection and was written by Ruth Rendall. The quick read collection is many books that have fantastic short storylines.

This book had text that was easy to read and it was easy to follow. The story kepy you guessing, you were never sure what was going to happen next.

The book was all about Polly. Polly had begun to steal things when she was eight years old. Polly started this the day she went with her mother to visit her aunt Pauline. Polly was not behaving, so her aunt Pauline took her inside and gave her a smack on the bottom, Polly hated her for this. Polly stole the book that her aunt was reading to make her pay for what she had done. As the story goes on you learn mre about the things that Polly had had stolen. Everything from a gold watch, her ex-boyfriends C.D Walkman and a bag full of money. Polly couldn't even go on holiday without stealing something. Polly took a fellow passengers bag at the airport and took it all the way home with her. Did Polly ever get caught out? I would suggest that you read this book it is a fantastic short story.

I would give this story a star rating of five it was a fantastic storyn that was amazingly funny in places. Fantastic story Well Done! the author.
