Museum of Thieves

In the city of Jewel, children are physically connected by a chain to an adult at all times (except at night when they're chained to the bed). They are released from their bonds on their Separation Day. On one particular Separation Day, something goes wrong and Goldie, the heroine of the story, finds herself unchained and runs away. She joins up with an eclectic gang of softy criminals in the Museum of Dunt and adventures ensue, etc, etc.After my experience with [b:Incarceron 332775 Incarceron (Incarceron, #1) Catherine Fisher http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51baJ9ujjcL.SL75.jpg 323310] I should learn to avoid books with buildings that may or may not have a mind of their own. This book did nothing for me. I thought it would be a fun dystopia story but it was really quite boring. Also, I take offense at the word “spit” being thrust upon me so often in the name of “Toadspit” because I really hate the word “spit” but I understand that is a personal problem that should have no bearing on the amount of stars a book deserves. But it really does only deserve 2 stars. Read only if you want to feel better about how overprotective your parents are. I guarantee the parents in this book are worse.
