"Never live anyplace you can't walk away from. Never own anything you can't leave behind. These were the laws of Kat's life- of Kat's world." The book is about 15 yr old Katherine and her family business is Burglary. The book promises a fun read with a bit of action and a little bit of mystery. The book does deliver on it's promise. I wanted to read something light after some of the intense reads and this book did refresh my mind. Kat has 2 weeks to perform a job to get her dad out of trouble

Review when I first read this book, September 2011: 3 Stars. I REALLY liked this book! Very different from what I am used to reading, which is fantasy and chick-lit. I really liked the story line, and I can't wait to read the second book!The only thing I wish was different about this book, is the main character, Kat. I like her, but I feel like I didn't know enough about her. I found myself wanting to know more about her personality, or her past.With that aside, I loved just about everything els...

3.5 starsI seriously needed this in my life. This was so fun, cute and perfect to relax myself after a tough week of non - stopping exams. I love Ally's writing style and her characters, she makes a great atmosphere and makes you laugh so much. This reminded me a lot of Secret Society Girl series, which I love, but in a YA world. Also, hello there Hale. The characters are are extremely cute and interesting and it was so fun to go on this adventure with them!

This was a meh read. When it got to a certain point, I kept glancing at the percentage at the bottom of my kindle screen to see if I was almost done.It's not a bad book and the idea was interesting, but I didn't really feel it. First off, it was rather vague. I couldn't really connect to any of the characters because I hardly got to know them. Also there were times where this book confusingly jumped between different POV's and lost me in the process. It was hardly a change of paragraph before we...

The storyline and plot were fabulous! However, I found myself confused often by the wording of certain scenes. Also, while I loved the characters and story, I did not appreciate a couple of scenes and therefore am giving it a lower rating. Only the fact that I thoroughly loved the story am I not giving it any lower of a rating. Would still recommend it but read with discernment.

Definitely 5 stars! Put it this way, I got this on audiobook from the library, finished it today in the car on the way to work, and stopped at the book store on the way home from work to buy a copy to keep. What a great premise! A bunch of preteens pulling off an Ocean's 11 worthy heist all in the name of saving family. Katerina Bishop (such a fantastic name) is the daughter of Bobby Bishop - one of the world's greatest thief's - and she is well on her way to being the same. She pulled her first...

“pretend and it will be true.” heist society wasn't bad, by all means. in fact, it was actually better than i expected. this is more of a middle-grade type of book, and aside from the mystery tag, i wouldn't have picked it up. but alas, i did, so here we go.katarina bishop is fifteen years old. fifteen. it certainly didn't seem like it. like just a glance at a cover ( and that model is hot damn [ yes i'm not straight hoemygod when did you find out ] ), i would think she's about twenty? years

WHY? I don't understand all these stellar reviews. It's mind boggling because truly this book was nothing spectacular. It was clever, sure. I like the idea of it more than I like the book per se.The main character is a ninny. All she ever does is float around worrying, trying to reassure me that although she has/had amazing ninja stealing skills, she doesn't approve of them. GET OUT OF THE WAY PRISCILLA, I'LL TAKE YOUR PLACE. GUN-FRICKING-HO. Not to mention she was flat. Like, tasteless kind of

Listen to my Heist Society fanmix in 8tracks and see the tracklist here.Actual Rating: 4.5 starsThis book is everything I wanted and more.Heist Society has the same international thrill as The Conspiracy of Us which is one of my favorite reads this year. And it went delightfully well. I might be crying tears of blood. Please give me twenty. Mini review to come. 

Third read review: I needed to read two more books for the read in challenge before the end of the year, and I immediately thought the Heist Society books. Still awesome! (Scroll down for full review)Re-read review: Good gravy, Ally Carter is a magician!!! In spite of the fact that I already knew everything that happened, I still couldn't put this down. HOW??? XD Definitely just as good as the first time! (See below for some content problems.)Original:How do I start to describe this book? It was...

i've been meaning to read this for YEARS (like eight years) and i finally got around to listening to the audiobook. it reminded me so much of How to Steal a Million and i loved how fun it was. the characters, romance, and action were all solid; now i need to read the sequel!

Also posted on STRANGEMORE.COM. Who is in the Heist Society? * One of them is a mini Sydney-Bristow-in-training, whose family has been falsely accused, and she's armed with a big attitude and huge problems. * Then there is the handsome and debonair millionaire thief who compares dancing to navigating through a laser grid. * There is also the beauty who is literally electrifying in high heels and a skirt. At least, when she gets too close to priceless works of art. * Two of them are the ones w...

I love tales about thieves and con artists, book series like The Curse Workers and movies like Ocean’s Eleven. I love it when seemingly random events come together neatly and cleverly in the end. Therefore, I loved Heist Society. It is admittedly not as clever as White Cat, for example, but I had a hard time putting it down and that’s a big deal these days.Fifteen-year-old Katarina Bishop is a very experienced con artist. She may be ridiculously young, but in her line of work, she’s one of the b...

I loved Ally Carter’s Gallagher Girls and I love reading about heists so obviously I had to check this out.Katarina Bishop’s father (Bobbys) is (falsely) accused of stealing from Arturo Taccone and now Kat has 12 days to get the paintings back. SO basically this is the YA version of Ocean’s Eleven (which I LOVE). I liked all the characters though I wish we had more background info on them. Where are Gabrielle’s parents? I feel like this series would have been much better if the characters were a...

Okay, the only reason I wanted to read this book was because I took a course called “Art in Popular Literature” and it was an awesome class that really sparked my interest in art. Perhaps that wasn’t the right perspective to view this book from because the complete absence and respect paid to the true real works of art in this book left me absolutely pissed.First of all, for the majority of the book I was so confused. All the amounts of names for characters we had to keep track of and backstory

I spent the better half of today tucked between the covers in my bed reading this gem. It was such a fun experience as always with Ally's books. I love this crew and the theme is A+, of course! Kat just took a spot among some of my favorite YA heroines. There are a few things that bothered me a bit: a. as much as short skirts =/= anything bad and YAY for girls wearing them if they want to and not wearing them if they don't want to, but it bothered me that Gabrielle is 16 and when (view spoiler)[...

I love it when you get excited when seeing a book you never heard of before, and then while reading, it turns out to be fantastic, instead of the opposite. I am now a huge fan of Ally Carter's. I have her other series (the Gallagher Girls), but I just haven't had the time to read them yet...what, with so many other books to read, but not now. I wont wait to read them.I can see this series becoming my new YA favorite. I loved the characters and the twist and turns in the plot-line. It wasn't pred...

Actual Rating: 3.5 StarsI didn't take off with this book at first because the story was progressing too fast without proper introduction of the plot, setting, and characters.But as the story went on, I got used to the author's fast transition style and, honestly, had a fun reading experience.Katarina Bishop, or simply Kat for short, is the protagonist of the story. As most teenagers, she was having an identity confusion, and in her case, her role between a normal teenage girl and a world-renowne...

My husband once told me a story about a neighbour he had before his family moved to our city. His very friendly, community conscious neighbour had a mower stollen one night by a couple of drunken goons. His parents gave him their sympathy and inquired as to why he didn't call the police. He replied that he didn't need to.Whoever this man really was and whatever he really did, I won't expound on. It's enough to say that two days later his mower was returned to his yard. Cleaned. With a free case

Rating: 4.5 starsFavourite Quote: "It is an occupational hazard that anyone who has spent her life learning how to lie eventually becomes bad at telling the truth."Heist Society is a brilliant read! It was fun and fast paced and I loved every minute of it.Kat is a 15 year old retired thief or was until she was forced to get back in the family business in order to save her Dad. Her father has been set up, accused of stealing paintings from a mobster type of guy that lead to some very dangerous co...
