When we grow up and realize that it is a pity, if we are given the opportunity to remedy it or save it, whether we try hard or not, it also proves whether we really grow up or not. The man who steals the shadow tells the story of a boy from his childhood to his epiphany, and finally finds his first dream. In the meantime, there is the friendship between him and his friends, and there is a gradual maturity and transformation of love, of course, all of which can not be separated from his special function - "steal the shadow."
Book "steal shadow" similar to a mind reader, but each person's shadow are independent, they can not only disclose privacy encounter with the master, will be able to master all the comments, and can express their attitude. A boy with the shadow of the shadow of others can overlap, with shadow - a set of imagination exchanges others is very rich, indeed the shadow overlap this phenomenon is enough to make people fall into a reverie, but very few people to wonder exactly, the author grasped this point. Here you have to further analyze the "stealing shadow" than "mind reading" genius. As I said before, the shadow can express their own things, said direct meaning and reading can be read, read people's heart, as true or false or hidden things need to be two times the processing from the shadow of the information extraction, so more real, mature and convenient.
Book by stealing shadow, to accept the shadow mission to help others, greatly small stories are permeated with the truth "and philosophy, of course the story is accompanied by the growth of the boy, the story is the story of a small truth, truth grew up. Among them, Luc, the boy's old friend, left the bakery with the help of the boy, stepped on his long sought after career as a doctor, and finally found himself really interested in the baker, and eventually returned to the bakery. This story is very interesting, sometimes people imagine things are not necessarily their own really like, and really like the surface may not be so high sounding. In fact, the occupation without distinction, can find happiness at work is lucky.
So I think Luc got it right, which is also a symbol of his growth.

Sophie is a good girl, but for boys is more suitable for his clare. Although many years ago, because of his poor judgement leads to wrong, but when the boy finally found their own mistakes and what you really want is what the girl, he gave up what we have now, but to pursue Clare, though may be fruitless, but he knew he had to do so. In fact, Sophie is the same, these young people all understand a truth, is to find the real belongs to their own half.
