Reviews
If you enjoyed Harry Potter you will not enjoy Magicians. Imagine the existential version Harry Potter and you have Magicians. The main character spends the entire book feeling like happiness eludes him. Wonderful things keep happening to him, he discovers magic, he finds a very special girlfriend, he becomes a master magician...yet, he just keeps whining about how pointless life is. The book has no overlying plot, we just follow this character around through what should be extremely interesting magical worlds, but all we really hear about is his depression. I would only recommend this book to those interested in existentialism. Otherwise, stay away.
