The Magus

I picked up this book on my holiday in Nha Trang, Vietnam, in our resort's library.
What I love the most in this book, is the fact, that there's not a single positive character, which makes the characters even more strikingly realistic. Quite often, whilst reading particular scenes, I'd catch myself thinking " I would probably have done/said/thought the same", which is always a good sign for me, as I like to relate to the characters, or, at least, to feel passionate about them.
The book is unpredictable - when you think "ok, I probably know what happens next", it starts to go really crazy and screwed up. And that's beautiful, indeed!
I loved the fact that the main character seems to be incapable of loving.

The book is now on its way to a new temporary home in Hampshire, UK, released via Bookmooch.
Thanks for the mooch! I'll send the book back on its journey once I've read it.
This book was quite different to anything I've ever read before. It was certainly unpredictable, I was consitantly shifting what I thought the characters were up to and what they might do next, and a lot of the time I got it wrong, which is a good thing.
