'The Magicians' - Lev Grossman's doing a live chat on Wednesday...


Larry is interested to see what happens next. Joe Abercrombie found that it was the honesty of the book that made it work for him. I haven't actually read 'The Magicians' yet (too many books to read and not enough hours in the day...) but plan to sooner rather than later. I do feel a 'US cover vs. UK cover' post is in the offing...

In the meantime, you can get a handle on what both 'The Magicians' and Lev Grossman himself are all about when Grossman does a live chat tomorrow (12:30 - 1:30pm EST) at Penguin's Water Cooler Site. Stop by and tune in if you have any questions to ask!

Lev Grossman ... Lev Grossman ... why is that name familiar? Wait a minute, that's the guy who wrote Codex! Someone let him write another book? Dear lord, have mercy. Codex is possibly one of the worst books I have ever encountered (Stan Nicholls' Orcs trilogy takes top spot on the poo pile).

Codex is a terrible novel: completely plotless (and not in a good Joycean way) and written in a style that is vomit inducing. Should this new novel be even 100 times better than Codex, then it will still be awful. The man has links somewhere; he's not getting published on merit!
