Obviously, Heist Society doesn’t have the most original plotline in the world.
With a motley group of kid-geniuses at her side, Kat will stop at nothing to save her father’s life, even at the cost of losing Hale’s trust.
Her goal: to outsmart the greatest thief the world’s ever known. Hale the Fifth, billionaire and wannabe con-man) was the reason for her expulsion, and that Hale needs her help clearing her father’s name, Kat rushes off to Europe. When it turns out that her friend Hale (also known as W.W. The book opens with fifteen-year-old Kat Bishop getting expelled from a prestigious prep school-her one shot at a “normal” life. Altogether, however, I found Heist Society to be a quick and enjoyable read, if an imperfect one. At other times, I found it to be a bit stiff and dull. At times, I found this book to be hilarious and endearing. Author Ally Carter writes in a style that’s appropriate for younger audiences, in the vein of the Spy Kids films. This novel about teenage thieves and their global adventures is far from serious-and far from realistic. Heist Society is a book written for readers in search of a good time. Ally Carter remains a favorite author of mine and I cannot wait to see what she comes up with next :) I cannot wait to see more of their story in book 2, Uncommon Criminals. It's a part of her and she is just very good at what she does.
The plot is so fun - the story of a girl raised in a band of thieves? How awesome! I love Kat's attempt to leave the family business, yet she can't quite seem to get away. I love the cast of secondary characters as well - they are all very dynamic, which made Heist Society a blast to read. And I love Kat - she is such a spiffy, strong heroine. What a silly fear since Heist Society surpassed my love for the Gallagher Girls and was just an all around epic read. After all this time, I hadn't read it for this same reason. I was afraid that it wouldn't live up to my expectations, since I just love Ally Carter's Gallagher Girls series. When I first heard about Heist Society back before it came out, I was excited but nervous.
