The magical tale of ill-fated lovers lost among worlds teetering on the edge of destruction, where their passion holds the key to escape.
There has never been a book like Imajica. Transforming every expectation of fantasy fiction with its heady mingling of radical sexuality and spiritual anarchy, it has carried its millions of readers into regions of passion and philosoph

I finished reading "Imajica" for the third time recently, and regretted that there had been so many years between this and my last reading.
The first time I picked it up I only got to read the first volume, through absolutely no fault of my own. The first actual, full reading was a couple years later, and by that time, Clive Barker was my favorite author. I was familiar with his horror stories and novels, and had read some of his more fantasy-oriented books, but "Imaj...more

(This review is for the whole of Imajica, since it really is a single story.)
I liked this book tremendously. It has a very unusual take on the messiah story, and many likable characters. The language is absolutely inspired in places. It does sprawl a lot, which counts against it, but I didn't mind too much.

Not particularly great; not particularly horrible. The book never seemed to end and the continued over use of sex leaves a dry taste in your mouth. At the same time, there is enough substance and attachment to the character that you do not but the book back on the shelf.
Stephen King recommended author. He said: "I have seen the future of horror, his name is Clive Barker."
Imajica is one of my most favorite fantasy books, hands down. Love love love Imajica.
the first part of this was just okay ..the 2nd part got better but then the ending lost me. i would have liked this in 7th grade
One of the best epic fantasy novels ever wrote.
Excellent Book. I loved it. Also, I liked that all the loose ends were tied up at the end. Even if the book didn't go into detail about everyone you at least knew what most of them got up to after the big event. I wish I could say more. I loved this book. It was magical.

anyone looking for a fantastic journey into the unknown
I read the entire book. It was too large to put into one book, so Clive made it two...though it is just one book split in two.....
one of my favorite books ever! i do not know why it has not been made into a movie yet!!!

Perhaps sunlight had always been luminous, and doorways signs of greater passage than that of one room to another. But she’d not noticed it until now.

Was worth reading, but not quite as good as first book.
ditto to Book 1.
