About this audiobook
The first book of the epic fantasy caper Gentleman Bastard Sequence about a roguish group of conmen, which George R. R. Martin says “captured me right on the first page and never let me go.”
“If you haven’t read [The Lies of Locke Lamora], you should. If you have read it, you should probably read it again.”—Patrick Rothfuss
An orphan’s life is harsh—and often short—in the mysterious island city of Camorr. But young Locke Lamora dodges relentless danger, becoming a thief under the tutelage of a gifted con artist. As leader of the band of light-fingered brothers known as the Gentlemen Bastards, Locke is soon infamous, fooling even the underworld’s most feared ruler. But in the shadows lurks someone still more ambitious and deadly. Faced with a bloody coup that threatens to destroy everyone and everything that holds meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the enemy at his own brutal game—or die trying.

an excellent book. love the setting, love the characters. the banter and dialog uses are excellent. the twist and turns of the ploy and a great finale in Book #1 yet with enough questions to entice you to book #2.

I've read this back then and loved it, I wanted to reread it but I couldn't for the love of God get into reading again, I guess my reading phase has gone over and passed. That's why I bought this audiobook, and suffice to say I do not regret purchasing this as I've gotten immersed into the story again, even when I am doing other stuff like exercising and doing work. The narration is really good as a first time listener to an audio book, even tho I can't really read and immerse myself into books anymore. I thank audio books for getting me into this stuff again.

The only thing better than this book is Michael Page's narration of it. Absolutely phenomenal.
