The Magicians by Lev Grossman (2009, Hardcover)

If you're expecting 'Harry Potter', you're not going to get it! This is one of those book that you have to go into with and open mind and not expecting anything you think you may already know about a magical world. It's definitely an young adult/ adult book, and shouldn't be given to minors. Now onto the book:
Definitely pulls you into it within the first couple chapters and makes you not want to put it down. While i haven't yet made it through the entire book yet I am a considerable way through it (considering i just opened it up yesterday!). Now guess is that when it's released it's going to get very great reviews and be a best seller. Nothing like Harry of course, but then again, who can compete with that!
