The Magicians by Lev Grossman

2.0

I can appreciate what this book is trying to say. Even if magic were real, it wouldn't necessarily happy. Especially if you struggle with depression. Still, the book as a whole is boring. I could have forgiven it a lame, self-centered and nihilistic main character if something interesting was happening around him. The story doesn't really pick up until the very end and it drags getting there. More realistic it may be but who reads fantasy for that kind of realism. I think I'm going to stick with the TV show.
