A review by rj921
The Magicians by Lev Grossman

3.0

I probably wouldn't have even read the whole book if i wasn't avoiding drowning in self-pity; plus i had a whole day to waste. I fairly dragged myself through half the parts of the book. It drags like hell, but there are some cold, unpleasant truths scattered throughout if you keep an eye out for it. It's kinda funny every time this happens- I disliked Quentin because he reminded me of myself. The whiny parts, the belief that I'm destined for something greater parts. But now that I'm done with it, i feel surprisingly clear-eyed, snapped out of the fugue I'd been in. It's an okay good book, a one time read; but you need to have patience to go with it till the end.
