In this stunning debut, author Scott Lynch delivers the wonderfully thrilling tale of an audacious criminal and his band of confidence tricksters. Set in a fantastic city pulsing with the lives of decadent nobles and daring thieves, here is a story of adventure, loyalty, and survival that is one part Robin Hood, one part Ocean’s Eleven , and entirely enthralling.…
An orphan’s life is harsh–and often short–in the island city of Camorr, built on the ruins of a mysterious alien race. But born with a quick wit and a gift for thieving, Locke Lamora has dodged both death and slavery, only to fall into the hands of an eyeless priest known as Chains–a man who is neither blind nor a priest. A con artist of extraordinary talent, Chains passes his skills on to his carefully selected “family” of orphans–a group known as the Gentlemen Bastards. Under his tutelage, Locke grows to lead the Bastards, delightedly pulling off one outrageous confidence game after another. Soon he is infamous as the Thorn of Camorr, and no wealthy noble is safe from his sting.
Passing themselves off as petty thieves, the brilliant Locke and his tightly knit band of light-fingered brothers have fooled even the criminal underworld’s most feared ruler, Capa Barsavi. But there is someone in the shadows more powerful–and more ambitious–than Locke has yet imagined.
Known as the Gray King, he is slowly killing Capa Barsavi’s most trusted men–and using Locke as a pawn in his plot to take control of Camorr’s underworld. With a bloody coup under way threatening to destroy everyone and everything that holds meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the Gray King at his own brutal game–or die trying.…

评分拿到书时对于把书归于青少年文学还有点耿耿于怀,认为是国内出版业封建势力压迫所致。看完后觉得。。。。还真是青少年文学呀,情节简单过RPG游戏,结尾更是像RPG一样,配角死光光,主角永流传(头号马仔幸存)。不过作者的文笔和马骁同学的翻译都还上佳,值得在回家的地铁上打...
评分我接触过的怪盗有以下几种: 亚森罗宾是我接触了第一个绅士怪盗他优雅、强大,无敌吸引了我。太过于完美的他有一个不那么幸福的结局。 名侦探柯南里的怪盗基德是第二个。 第三个就是拉莫瑞了,他,是一个有着悲剧身世的人,他不帅,但却有着吸引着大众的魅力。明明就只是一个身...
评分和亲兄弟科幻比起来,奇幻现在算是风光无比。但是写到如今也的确越来越难写出新意了。新颖的设定,出色的笔法,视角,看起来,已经被写光。 这让人还怎么混呢?一条路是彻底的变革;另外则是抠细节,写出趣味来。 我认为,绅士盗贼拉莫瑞当属后者。 被不锈钢老鼠搞失望过一...
Ocean's 11 in renaissance Italy, the setting reminds me of that Woody Allen joke 'my brother beat me,my sister beat my brother,my parents beat us,the neighbors beat them,the people down stairs beat our floor, the people in next building beat our building...' thief based pyramid!
评分大概相当于Dresden Files 的那种级别。故事轻松,文笔流畅,人物讨喜,偶尔搞笑,偶尔黑暗,但最终没啥深度的奇幻小说。打算继续看第二册。
