The Magicians by Lev Grossman

4.0

I can see why a lot of people might not like this book as, when looked at from a certain perspective, it seems to view the world in a very negative light. I'd take issue with this interpretation though. To me it possesses a rather bracingly cold clarity of vision and a refusal to colour ones perceptions with false positivism. The universe is a deeply impersonal place and it's up to us to impart meaning on it, not vice versa.
