A review by rebeccasreadingrambles
The Magician by Colm Tóibín
Did not finish book.
I had to pause this around 120 pages. It seems like it would be an interesting book, but I cannot connect with the characters. So far it's almost like the readers have a view looking down on these characters instead of being in the room with them or in their head. We see their actions, but not their emotions and very little of their thoughts. And there is hardly any dialogue.
The writing is great and so easy to read. The book jumps forward in time in a blink. Sometimes you are in a paragraph and the next paragraph is years and years later. That does take some time getting used to.
Thanks to the publishers for this review copy.
