It's not a perfect novel, but I was absolutely fascinated by it! I loved the pace of it, the dreary, almost dreamlike atmosphere, how the protagonist describes the physical and emotional sensations of stealing, his methods of stealing! Though it was somewhat clumsily executed, I was also intrigued by its themes of fate.
