The Thief of Always

The Thief of Always by Clive Barker is a fantasy novel that I have just begun to read. If you have seen my last post, it was inspired by a theme from this novel. It follows a boy named Harvey who is fed up with the lousy weather and seeks to find some fun at a place called the Holiday House. So far it is an amazing story and I can't wait to get further into it. I love books that have some magic in them. One of the characters in the story Mrs. Griffin says, "Nothing's perfect...because time passes...and the beetle and the worm find their way into everything sooner or later." My personal interpretation of this is that all good things must always come to an end and will always fade away. Nothing can be perfect because nothing stays in this world for too long. Everything keeps leaving this world but as it does, new things come into it!
