I put off reading Lies of Locke Lamora a long time. One reason was the "Nice bird, asshole" quote that comes up all the damn time. Now that I finally read the book I must say that that quote is over-rated. So damn over-rated. But at least the book is still good. It was indeed very entertaining I liked the characters and the world felt very dense. The interludes were a bit annoying, overall. They did add a lot, but there were also a lot of them. Maybe too many. I guess we'll never know.

If you enjoy fantasy with witty characters, if you enjoy con men stealing from the rich then this book might be for you. I will give the next books in the series a try.
