The Magicians: A Novel (Magicians Trilogy) af Lev Grossman
An odd book that turned out to be completely different from what I expected going into it. The idea is interesting, though I can't say that the writing is particularly compelling or that the plot is very good at all. Still, I've heard they get better, so I'll have to see what happens with the next two.
In the end, I can't say I know what the point of this book was. It slides carelessly from one deus ex machina to the next, and when you're done, you cant help but wish you'd done something else with your time.
There was nothing wrong with this book. It was just very different from what I was expecting.
Content: nothing to worry about

Kind of depressing and somber book. The one take away I had was be happy with the situation you are in. Don't keep looking for the next thing you think might make you happy. Choose to be happy now. Oh, also, you don't know what you have until its gone. All kind of cliche but true.
