I've really gotta tell you bout this. If you're in to reading, I'm on one of the best books I've read in a long time.

It's all about a young guy who has a gift of opening locks and safes. And even though it's a cliche to say it, I find it really difficult to put down, and I know it's gonna be such a bitch to finish it. The story takes you on a real ride, and the author definitely knows his onions.

But don't just take my word for it, read the reviews on Amazon. Bloody brilliant. I read from a Kindle, so I do tend to save a bit on books. I've got less than a hundred pages to go, and this book is picking up pace at a hell of a rate.

'The Lock Artist' by Steve Hamilton

Cool. Sounds interesting!! I'm gonna go check it out.

I loved every line where he was describing how the locks were being picked or manipulated. Great read!!!!

whoa i had this on my lost book list for years now, thanks for the reminder! good to hear its captivating from a fellow hobbyist

Great book I have it on my e reader, if I ran out of books I would read it again.

I cried.

I went to church the next day.

Sounds like a great book to read

A timely reminder for Christmas.

For those who haven't read it it would make a great gift for self.

You know "To Me from Santa".

Now, was tthis the author that came here to KP to gather info for his book? Or am I thinking of someone else?

The book has been out a long time, so I don't think so but I don't know.

I always thought it was a bio. of Oldfast.

A bio... Ha! Well, apparently it's not him then. But I do recall an author that stopped in
awhile back to gather more accurate details for writing their book. Anyway. Maybe I'll
skim through the 'introduce yourself' section. Maybe I can find 'em there. Just curious.

.... a bio

Hmmm. Here's one. But don't think it's the one I'm thinking of.
I'll keep looking. Geez, it's like a crazy easter egg hunt. lol
