Status Updates From Uma Escola para Ladrões

Todella kiinostava tähän mennessä ja haluaisin vaan lukea enemmän ja enemmän.

Gabriel on päässyt Crookhaveniin ja on tavannut kaksoset Aden ja Eden ja Crookhavenin koulun rehtorin tyttären Penelopen. Ensimmäisestä koulupäivästä on melkein selvitty. Kähvellyskäytännön tunnilla Gabriel pääsee loistamaan, mutta opettaja kuitenkin hieman moittii häntä.

‘Ah but Gabriel,’ Caspian said, eyes lighting up. ‘It is those who feel like they don’t belong who are most welcome at Crookhaven. Do you know why?’ Gabriel shook his head. ‘ Because it is the outsiders, the forgotten, the ones who’ve always felt like they DONT belong, who end up changing the world.’ [never a truer word spoken. I’m thinking Steve jobs and bill gates].

After saying most thieves wear suits,Caspian says ‘That is, in essence, what we do here at Crookhaven: we do wrong to put the world right.’ What fun.

My son told me I HAD to read this. Currently in a coffee shop in Leederville waiting for him to finish a D&D session and doing precisely that.
