The Cross Thieves by Alan  Fyfe
"A dreamlike, suspenseful story full of interesting characters!!

I really enjoyed reading this book, it's set over the course of one night that two hungry brothers steal a cross in a mistake and from a sense of justice. It's a relatively direct plot bu" Read more of this review »

"I really admired the ring composition structure and mythical quest elements of this novel, especially after just seeing The Odyssey and revisiting that story. Very cleverly written with so much warmth for the hapless brothers, the central characters." Read more of this review »

3.5 really, which I think is around right, though I'm still deciding what I think about this book. A narrative about a normal person. Istvan tips neither into the villain nor the hero character, though at times he can act like either. Szalay's writin ...more
