book fifty-nine: The Magicians

Sunday 2 August 2015

From Jim's shortlist we selected The Magicians by Lev Grossman, an American author.  Our protagonist, Quentin Coldwater, goes to Hogwarts.  Or something like that, apparently.


We met at Maree's place.


Scores:
Leigha - 11 struggled with superficiality of character development 
Maree - 11 felt it was not really going anywhere 
Mari - 8 very angry, not well written, but not fun to read
Jim - 11 implausible behaviour
Tim - 12 page turner 
Jo - 6 high hopes dashed
Wendy - 13 enjoying, intends to finish

AVERAGE: 10.3
