As with all of Megan Whalen Turner\u2019s books, I discovered a few more nuances each time.<\/p>\n<p>But the audiobook version has the advantage of being read by my new narrator-crush, Steve West, discovered when he read <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\/Teens\/strange_the_dreamer.html\">Strange the Dreamer<\/a><\/em>.  I could (and do) listen to his voice for hours.  He delineates the characters well with different voices.  Although the audio version doesn\u2019t have a map, I didn\u2019t feel like it was dragging as I listened to his narration \u2013 it made each episode that much more interesting.<\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s probably not much more I need to say.  This is the fifth book in one of my very favorite series.  It\u2019s got adventure and danger and characters you root for.  And has an outstanding narrator as well.  I do recommend reading the books in order, beginning with <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\/Teens\/thief_audio.html\">The Thief<\/a><\/em>, but let me say that they also make outstanding family listening.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/harperaudio.hc.com\/homepage\">harperaudio.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1538419858\/sonderbooksco-20\" target=\"outside\">Buy from Amazon.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Find this review on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\">Sonderbooks<\/a> at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\/Teens\/thick_as_thieves_audio.html\">www.sonderbooks.com\/Teens\/thick_as_thieves_audio.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Disclosure: I am an Amazon Affiliate, and will earn a small percentage if you order a book on Amazon after clicking through from my site.<\/p>\n<p>Source: This review is based on a library audiobook from Fairfax County Public Library.<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer:  I am a professional librarian, but I maintain my website and blogs on my own time.
