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.…

读后感

终于看完了厚达500多页的《绅士盗贼拉莫瑞》，一句话评价的话：持续两周背着这么重的一本书上下班是绝对值得的。 在书店里看到它，是因为书腰上有两个人的推荐，一个是马丁——写《冰与火之歌》的那个马丁，一个是灰鹰爵士——翻译《冰与火之歌》的那个灰鹰爵士。以我对冰火的...  

在亿万年前，卡莫尔城邦曾是上古种族的居住地，后来，这一种族神秘地消失了，只留下满城流光溢彩的玻璃废墟，废墟里矗立着五座用坚不可摧的祖灵玻璃建造的通天圣塔。每天黄昏时分，祖灵玻璃会吸收落日余晖，在黑夜降临之前散发出梦幻般的光芒，宛如另一次瑰丽的日落，人称“伪...  

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...

用户评价

中规中矩，偶有惊喜。场景描写和插叙笔墨太多，细节的泛滥也影响了阅读的流畅。不过，Locke和Jean这两个人物都好棒啊，下一部请你们在一起吧！（Michael Page的有声书演绎出神入化）

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。

棒！！！但第3本要跳到啥时候.....至于7部曲什么的我可以稍微不要期待有生之年............orz

结构方面，文句修饰太过，加上跳跃式叙述，影响阅读连贯性。情节方面，这类骗局小说，很容易变成作者自编自演，这本就有点这种破绽，所有配角、反派甚至情节，都为主角服务，例如法师设定太过强大，以致最後情节发展，失去可信度。
