Dunno. I've read several reviews where the reader is unsatisfied. I am ashamed to admit it, but I've read the book at least six times, and as has been pointed out, there are many little clues. I was sort of confused as to if I liked the book or not after I read it once, but on the second reading I picked up the clues. I may have already said this, but The Thief is like It's A Wonderful Life, how you need to read/see it twice to appreciate it.
