But she is so ridiculously snappy with Frankie - not just once, but twice, when Frankie tries to talk to her. It’s not entirely unrealistic, as with everything concerning Lydia’s character, but it doesn’t make her likeable or interesting.

The book just looses all it's meaning. It becomes unrealistic to the max and doesn't give a solution to the problem. It just holds up and shows the future of Lydia's life where everything seems weird because the town is ruled by some mutant tyrant? It didn't match with the storyline at all and just made it unbearable to read.

If this was some foolish kind of prank, Lydia, then I have to tell you I’m not amused- Now I don’t believe you meant to really steal it, otherwise you would have taken it home with you.

One day there is an accident involving her friend and a misunderstanding that Lydia can’t take it anymore and tries to run away but is caught in a strange storm and the next thing she knows, she is in the future and the whole future is bizarre, making her go crazy.

The Times newspaper once described Malorie as a ‘National Treasure’. Looking at her remarkable list of accomplishments, it is difficult to argue with that sentiment. THIEF! is an imaginative novel which plays with the parable of not letting hate beget hate. We follow the protagonist Lydia as she tries to deal with the contempt of a whole town. It ultimately leads her to being whisked about 40 years into the future, where her town his subjected to the oppression of the Tyrant. One of my favourite parts in haker is the part with Jaws the killer dog in fact he is just a cute coca spanul Lydia then tries to run away from her problems and get's into a bus while it's heavily raining outside (as you do) and suddenly she's transported into the future.

A six day stay at hospital. What, did she get pneumonia or something? Lydia seems to suffer from the conveniently-passing-out trope. But damn. That time travel wasn’t thought through. Or rather. None of the characters thought it through. At first I thought only Lydia was an idiot. But. Seems like I was wrong.Hugo Award & 1944 Retro Hugo Award Finalists". The Hugo Awards. 2 April 2019 .
