Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Unabridged CDs ? 10 CDs, 12 hours

A thrilling and original coming-of-age novel about a young man practicing magic in the real world.

Review:

"Grossman's novel is a postadolescent Harry Potter, following apprentices in the art of magic through their time as students at an upstate New York college to their postcollegiate Manhattan misdeeds, with jaded ennui tempering the magical aura. Mark Bramhall, a smooth baritone with a supple speaking voice, reads carefully, with a slight air of heaviness and sorrow. He pauses frequently and freights the silences with a tenderness well befitting a coming-of-age novel. A Viking hardcover (Reviews, June 1). (July)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
