The Soul Thief is an ethereal novel in these times of identity theft. Based on the idea is that someone can go even further to steal your soul. The story is about a student,Nathanial Mason, who is quite passive to begin with, passive to ideas,to stronger personalities,etc. Gradually he comes under the spell of the allurinbg but amoral Theresa and eventually of Jerome Coolberg,a cryptic and somewhat souless fellow student. The story reminded me of Donna Tartt's "Secret History". Soul Thief is highly engaging and challenging!
