From the Bookshelf of Tyler Public Library…

[close] Warp is Lev Grossman's debut novel. It's now being reissued and touted as the prequel to his bestselling Magicians series. I'm not sure what this publisher’s idea of a prequel is, but this slim novel does not meet my qualifications for a prequel. There is no magic in these pages, literal or figurative. Warp tells the story of disaffected, upwardly mobile youth, Hollis, who upon graduation from college is at a complete loss as to what to do with his future. Hollis and his friends entertain themselves by breaking into their wealthy family friends homes while they are off in Europe. Like Hollis's stultifying life, nothing much is happening in these pages.
Only recommended for Lev Grossman's fans that are curious about his first novel.
