I love the unexpectedness of this book. I think that's where the magic is for me!

There's trouble in paradise. Especially when you exit a magical door and can't figure out how to get back in.

Thank God there's some humor in this - otherwise it would be an utterly desolate read.

Totally enjoying this one. Such a refreshing outlook on helping yourself.

I've had more epiphanies listening to this book than I have reading the last God knows how many self help books.

And I'm not even close to the end!!

This book is a bloody scream!!

Great book!

enjoying this one! An interesting look at an early Scotland Yard.

You know - I really want to like this book. I really do. But I keep wanting to smack the heroine and say 'Really? Seriously?'. *sigh*

I love how this book makes magic soooo real - not because of what they do (that's thin on the ground) - it's what they encounter. Lev Grossman makes magic what it's supposed to be - magical, enchanting, unexpected and scary as hell.

Interesting look at early magic. They seemed closer to it somehow, back in that early time. I find it interesting that I'm reading 2 books with magic at the same time - not planned either!

Loving this book! Hilarious that he keeps referring to Harry Potter stuff actually - the imagined as opposed to the 'real'.

This book is wonderfully magical. Not what I was expecting actually. It's almost a grown up Harry Potter -only with a lot more sinister undertones regarding magic in general ..... and that doesn't even describe this book very well. It's been engrossing.
