remarks ;
The Thief of Always tells the story of a tenyear old boy named Harvey Swick and how he (alongside with other children) got trapped and eventually got out of the seemingly kids' paradise: The Holiday House. I believe that the author was trying to convey the importance of time, and how lost time can never be bought back. What is noteworthy about this work is that it was written for children but it is also intended for adults. Since the author and illustrator was one and the same, we get a clearer picture of what he actually sees in his mind's eye. What I love about this book is that the description of the Holiday House makes you want to actually go there, until you find out what's really going on. Clive Barker does take you along with his character's journey through his skillful use of words. In comparison to his other works such as The Great and Secret Show, The Thief of Always uses simpler words and less complicated concepts but is still nevertheless captivating.
