This was my very first audio book I d never found a reason to listen to a book rather than read it , because it just takes so much longer to finish Also, I noticed that most people who love audio books tend to have a commute, and I m never in a car without kids long enough to listen to anything.So, no reason for audio books.But.I started exercisinge flab happens And for a while, it was fun with Richard.Eventually, however, I moved on to an aerobic walking video Because I m cool like that And als [...]

I haven t read the book yet, obviously, but I know that this is going to be a good one All of Ally Carter s YA books ave been a success and I m sure this will be too The only thing I will be disappointed with if she doesn t have is some kissing with Hale and Kat, I mean, it s soooooo obvious that they like each other EDIT The cover is gorgeous EDIT Reading the synopsis just makes me excited, and I m about to die of anticipation

If there was ever a Young Adult book written almost exclusively for actual young adults, it s Uncommon Criminals In fact, with its light tone, overly simplified plot, short chapters, third person narrative and extremely subtle romance, it is at times appropriate for younger young adults or even middle grade readers and should be judged rated as such After successfully stealing back four paintings from the seemingly impenetrable Henley museum and returning them to their rightful owners, Kat has [...]

2.5 starsI m reading the reviews for this book and all I can say is that I definitely agree with many of you who said that this book is truly a YA book intended for young adults I wish I read it when I was 14 or 15 because I would ve adored it It s light, fun and overall cute Of course, sometimes we get a bit of drama llama situations and questionable choices made by our interesting characters but overall, this entire trilogy is entertaining Hale is cute, though, I love him.

For a bit of W.W Hale eye candy go to irresistiblereadsRating 4.5Favourite Quote Luck is a strange thing in the life of any thief and halfway decent con man What is it that keeps the mark from counting the till or the guards from looking up at precisely the wrong moment Kat had learned at a very young age that luck is for the amateur, the lazy those who are unprepared and unskilled And yet she also knew that luck, like most things, cannot be truly missed until it is also truly gone.When it comes [...]

HOLY COW I didn t know it was possible for me to like a book than Heist Society and then BAM Book 2 was crazy good Those were some awesome plot twists, and to be honest, I think this was even better than the first book if that s possible I m going to start making a list of the names Kat guesses for Hale s first name Basically, LOVED IT Update After reading this and the first book, I now have an official list of the names Kat has guessed for Hale, along with whether he definitely said no or if i [...]

There was no way I couldn t like this book even if I tried Ally Carter wrote in everything I look for in a good heist story the loyal crew for the hero or in this case, heroine , plot twists at every turn, crazy mysterious villains, and of course, the seemingly impossible heist that the crew needs to pull off by the end of the story.I would say that Uncommon Criminals is the blockbuster, popcorn novel for YA for this summer as Super 8 is this summer s blockbuster movie for Hollywood sort of hype [...]

Love is the biggest con of all This sequel is really better I could totally picture the world and loved Carte s way of making the characters look like good badass people They are thieves who have no unbelievable tech, guns or really dangerous people behind them and still made the book enjoyable I liked how they were conning and robbing in a classic and elegant way and still were the good guy And how sly they were The writing was really easy and pleasant but the romance Kat felt her heart beat fa [...]

Hmmmm I didn t love this one as much as I loved Heist Society Maybe because there wasn t much plot in my opinion Until the crew arrives in Monte Carlo there are a few key scenes but most of the time is spent on Kat thinking she has it all cover all by herself and totally secluding her crew not listening to anyone when they try to give her advice Of course, she learns and grows throughout the novel, but I really struggled with being 100% supportive of Kat during the whole book My favorite charact [...]

I honestly thought that I would like this better than Heist Society, but the ending failed so miserably that I am left feeling nothing but disappointment The ingredients for a fun, intelligent read were there, but they were wasted Overall, the story was distractingly unrealistic, the characters were bland, and the ending was poorly put together.First, let s talk about the novel as a whole I am echoing myself from my review of the first book, but really I m supposed to believe these kids are capa [...]

2.5 stars I wish I had to say about this book This is my third Ally Carter book I ve read Heist Society and I d Tell You I Love You, But Then I d Have to Kill You and so far I ve found all her books kind of meh But with the promise of teen art thieves, heists, cons, action, espionage, cursed jewels, ancient Egypt and Hale, I couldn t resist trying again But I almost wish I hadn t bother.This book was just dull None of the characters developed in the slightest since we last met them, and I had t [...]

Pre reading Hm, I think I like the Heist cover better, this one seems a little less intense But it s still nice, love that the model kept her smirk After reading I really loved this book I liked the first Heist a lot, but I feel like Ally Carter has improved her writing so much since the last Heist All the characters in Uncommon Criminals are really wonderful and extremely well fleshed out I also think Ally Carter s third person prose has gotten a lot better.

ORIGINALLY POSTED ON MY BLOG AFTERWORDSSo, if you read my review of Heist Society, you probably didn t expect me to pick up book two I didn t think I d do that, either But then, while looking through my local bookstore, I found a hardcover copy of Uncommon Criminals and I just thought it was so damned pretty ShallowI was hoping Uncommon Criminals might actually live to the potential of the awesome idea behind these books, but while it was a better read than the first, it was by no mean anything [...]

I just love this series I have been wanting to get back to this series and I finally have I am not really into the love with the Hale Kat love angst thing going on but I did enjoy the heist and the cons It made it for a fast and enjoyable read I did not see the ending coming and it was hilarious and genius I am looking forward to reading the next installment in this series.

It took me a long time to buy Ally Carter s Heist Society because when I walked by it in the bookstore I just saw the big sunglasses and the word society and thought, no, I have too much Gossip Girl in my life as it is And then I finally looked closer and I freaking loved that book like few others I read last year When I found out Uncommon Criminals was coming I did a happy dance of happy happiness That happy dance was repeated when, in the throes of misery about not finding Demon s Surrender ou [...]

Uncommon Criminals by Ally Carter is exactly what we always hope sequels will be even better than the original While I enjoyed the series opener, Heist Society, I feel like Carter really stepped up her game with this followup effort.The biggest change is that Carter spends a lot time investigating and fleshing out the characters in Uncommon Criminals Kat and Hale in particular are both marvelously fleshed out we get a better handle on who they are and what their motivations and feeling are Whic [...]

3.5 STARS FOR UNCOMMON CRIMINALS BY ALLY CARTERAgain, a simple, fun read for when you re looking for something light Kat takes an interesting turn in this book, where she s become quite cocky and overly confident after the successful Henley heist in the first book She s pulled off missions no one else has been able to at her age, which has left her feeling a bit drunk on that power and a little distant from the rest of her crew It s also caused tension between Kat and Hale, where they re constan [...]

I already rated this book I already wrote my opinion I thought it couldn t have been any better But I know it could.Uncommon Criminals was great I was ecstatic about the opening day I had it marked on my mental calendar ever since I heard about it But it didn t have the same punch Heist Society had Maybe it was the fact that Heist Society was first, and therefore, it will always have that special place in my heart or maybe it was the curse whatever it was, Ally Carter definitely had ideas coming [...]
