An extrodinary novel
12 Jan 2004
Format:Hardcover
"Thief of Light" is a book about the real world. A world filled with drugs and crime where people are willing to kill others for money. The main character Adrian Sellers is vividly portrayed by Ramus and the entire cast of characters are nicely done by Ramus. I could see the characters come to life in front of my eyes. The setting was set against the background of the worst part of New York City. This is a very interesting setting and really gives the book the edge over others of the genre. Adrian Sellers, the main character, is very well portrayed because he is based on the author, David Ramus. I really enjoyed reading this book and liked the style of writing that David Ramus used. It had a dark tone and mood to it and really immersed you in the world. I can not really relate to the book but that didn't stop me from enjoying it thoroughly. It is a joy to read and a real page-turner. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys to read.

Fast,exciting,smooth flow
24 Feb 1999
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I was simpley amazed at the writting of this 1st. time author, that I came on line to see if he has done others. I am anxious to read his other works to see if this was a fluke are if David can realy write. When I started this book only maybe into the 1st to 3rd. chapter Dean Kontz New novel came out. I had to rush out to get it immediately. To my own amazment,I went onto finish the Thief of Light first.
Swift, sure writing that immerses you in a fascinating world
7 April 1998
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Ramus' first novel is a treasure, a beautifully written story of a surprisingly likeable character caught in a horrifying situation. The plot is gripping, the pace perfectly swift. If anything slows you down it's the desire to go back and read certain paragraphs a second or third time. The "insider" information about the art world is tied tightly into the plot. There are phrases and sentences that describe paintings so vividly you'd almost rather read about them than see them for yourself. This man will never be one of those "book-a-year" writers -- his standards are too high. I have no doubt that his next will be well-worth the wait.
