The Thief: An Isaac Bell Adventure is a well researched book about motion pictures and the burgeoning talkie movie industry in Hollywood, California. It has definite good guys and bad guys. People are murdered but unlike other stories not a lot of gory description in the discussion of the dead person. The book is a definite thriller. Four stars were awarded to the book in this review. ( ) Another Isaac Bell story.... not his best story.. kind of tired of the crazy "close-calls" that almost seem like he has got a 6th sense at times... this book is missing the "technology" side with this book, (planes, trains, submarines, etc) from the previous books.. although it does get into the movie industry a little bit... Very quick reading indeed.... Stopped on pg.101, but I can see that this book might appeal as adventure to a teen reader. There certainly is a wealth of historical detail packed in. A kid reading this would get a rich visual of the development of - say - the movies. It was a effort to move from silent films to talkies, one I had not quite appreciated before reading this well researched adventure. Unfortunately, I just could not get into the adventure part, which is rather crucial. I will continue my search for compelling YA fiction. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

On the ocean liner Mauretania, two European scientists with a dramatic new invention are barely rescued from abduction by the Van Dorn Detective Agency's intrepid chief investigator, Isaac Bell. Unfortunately, they are not so lucky the second time. The thugs attack again-and this time one of the scientists dies. What are they holding that is so precious? Only something that will revolutionize business and popular culture-and perhaps something more. For war clouds are looming, and a ruthless espionage agent has spotted a priceless opportunity to give the Germans an edge. It is up to Isaac Bell to figure out who he is, what he is up to, and stop him. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
