Work detailsThe Magus by John Fowles (1966)
Switched to this ed. I found my copy it has this cover.. Should re-read it again. (  )  velvetink | Mar 31, 2013 |  Brought to the BC-meeting in Castricum for me :-) BoekenTrol71 | Mar 31, 2013 | Brought to the BC-meeting in Castricum for me :-) BoekenTrol71 | Mar 31, 2013 | I was initially sucked in -- the first paragraph was amazing and the first third was promisingly mysterious, but then it just degenerated into, uh, whatever bored, random idea Fowles could think. It became a disappointing effort to finish it. (  ) ubicumque | Jan 14, 2013 | I perhaps read this book when I was too young, only 19. Initially I found it intriguing and strange and enjoyed the mood. Roughly half way through I grew frustrated and fatigued by all the complexity and ultimately gave it up. I will try it again as that was 20 years ago and I may have more patience with it now. (  ) Dani12 | Nov 30, 2012 | no reviews | add a review
