Summary: The story teller of all story tellers
Comment: How delightful to find a book that surprised and pulled me into another world and reality! I had come to believe that I had grown too old and had lost the ability to exercise this pleasure. I am greatful that I did not discover Patrick O'Leary until now and only wish there were more like him.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great book, I hope he writes more
Comment: The Gift is everything I ever wanted from a good fantasy/science fiction book. The writing is just as good if not better than his first book, Door Number Three, which was also an amazing book. O'Leary knows how to write a good story which keeps the readers attention.

Summary: the gift
Comment: The Gift by Patrick O'leary is a fiction book with a lot of story telling. The book mainly talks about The Story Teller, King John, Jason and the Captain. I like the book and I don't at the same time. At the beginning the book starts off when people on the ship and the captain hear voices singing coming from the river. The story teller starts telling the captain and the people on the ship a story about this lady who has been killed on a ship and how she was thrown in to the sea. People believe that she wants revenge and sings all the time ships pass by. Then all of a sudden The Story Teller starts talking about Jason and King John. The author keeps mixing up the stories and that gets the reader confused.
The theme of the book is "don't trust anyone you don't know". The king trusts Jason, a young arms man and the king wants to give him a promotion. But the kings advisor tells the king that is not a good idea in quote "no one knew where he'd come from, and he couldn't be cajoled into speaking of his past" pp. (30). I totally agree with the theme of the book because I was taught not to trust anyone that I don't know. It's hard to trust even the people I know my whole life.
At the beginning I liked the book because the more I read the more I want to find out what is going to happen next. One thing I don't like about the book is the mix up that I gets as I read the book. It's a kind of book you have to read more than once to understand it more. I am not going to recommend the book to anyone. If you like to read a fiction with a lot of fantacy and twist to it, then you will love it. I like the book and at the same time I don't.
