#0022A The Magicians - Lev Grossman

I was quite disappointed with this book. I was told that this book was an older version of Harry Potter. Boy doesn't know he's a magician, boy gets accepted into a magic school, blah blah blah. He was in school for about one third of the book. (Not to mention this particular book was split up into 4 parts within the book)

The Magicians did have a few good fighting scenes, but the story jumped around a lot and the transitions were not smooth. A lot of things didn't really need to be in the story. The only way I could see this getting better is if the 4 parts of the book were split up into 4 different books and the 2-4 were expanded more, but adding more excitement instead of people just sitting around talking and drinking. Eh, the book just wasn't for me. 2 stars
